Full Tilt Poker will be putting on the Full Tilt $25K Heads-Up World Championship on May 24-25 in what will be the most expensive tournament buy-in in the history of online poker.

The event takes place a week after the end of FTOPS VIII.

According to pokerpages.com:

The event kicks off at 3 p.m. EST on the 24th and will be hosted by 2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Champion Chris “Jesus” Ferguson. Team Full Tilt stars Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer and Jennifer Harman will also be in attendance, while the biggest names in live and online poker are expected to flock to the record setting tournament.

The maximum field size will be 64 players, with ‘no byes’ rules, so players are encouraged to buy-in early to avoid being refunded. If the field doesn’t sell out, the max will drop to 32 or 16 entries, if necessary.

Whole thing here.

FTP is planning to run $500+$35 qualifiers for the event.

Opponent's image: Very aggressive preflop

The setup: You've had an uneven session so far and it's been a bit since you won a hand. This hand there's a poster in the hijack preflop. The table folds to him and he checks. You raise $200. The button folds and the SB three bets to $825. The BB and hijack fold, and you flat.

You have a good amount of history with the raiser. He is a very active three bettor and seems to have your number in recent sessions. He is very aggressive against your preflop raises, especially if there's a squeeze opportunity. He's also a pretty steady continuation bettor.

You flop about as dry as can be:
