Full Tilt are shadowing the whole WSOP with their own Mini Series of Poker (MSOP)

From May 30th until July 5th, the MSOP will let you play the same day’s tournaments that will be running at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, with a buy-in anywhere from $10 to $500.  That is basically 1/100th of the normal cost for each event.  Eg the WSOP 50K is the MSOP $500 buy-in, and a normal $1500 WSOP event, is $15 MSOP Event.

Each event winner, as well as obviously a chunk of cash, will also gets a limited edition Full Tilt Poker Champion’s Watch.

There is also a MSOP Leaderboard (best overall performance in the MSOP) with a prize of a $10K seat at the 2009 Main Event in Las Vegas.

Full Tilt are hosting the largest buy-in tournament ever in the history of online poker.   On the 24th May at 3pm ET, they are hosting the World Heads-Up Championship, an event with a $25,000 buy-in!

Entrants will be capped at 64.  Whether they meet that amount though is another matter.  Full Tilt is the home of the worlds highest rolling poker players, so if anyone can get 64 players to stump up $25K they can.

There are 2 qualifiers for the event.  Both $535 buy-ins. They are on Thurs May 22nd at 3 pm ET, and Fri May 23rd at 9 pm ET
