The satellites will be hopping between now and the main events so get out there and get started.FTP's FTOPS starts on 8/5 and runs through 8/16. The

I've always been a sucker for something unique, different and something that takes time to build up to earn. I've always been the type to outwork my peers so when Full Tilt Poker's Iron Man Challenge was announced, I thought I'd be all over it. It got me playing
