Another day, another
Full Tilt Online Poker Series (
FTOPS) event, and the prize pool rose above $1 million once again.
Last night's event was the $300 buy-in sixhanded no-limit hold'em (with rebuys) tournament. The event had a $450,000 guarantee but crushed that number when the 1,133 entrants rebought 1,652 times and added on 569 times, bringing the total prize pool to $1,006,200. The first-place finisher stood to snag $209,793.
And there were plenty of notable players still in the running when it got down to the top 20. Among those still in the tournament were
Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad,
Isaac "mjorgenson13" Baron (better known as westmenloAA),
Jordan "pimpin_pens" Smith (better known as scarface_79),
Owen "ocrowe" Crowe,
Steve "thorladen" Weinstein, and
Matt "mattyv" Vengrin. Of those six players, four were knocked out before the final table. Annette_15 finished in 17th ($6,540), ocrowe in 13th ($8,050), thorladen in 10th ($15,093) and pimpin_pens in seventh ($21,130).
Mjorgenson13 and mattyv both made it to the final table of six players, but mjorgenson13 became the second elimination of the table. He took home $53,329 for fifth place. Mattyv made it to heads-up play with johnnypoker69 and mattyv wound up raking in the final pot. He took down the $209,793 first-place prize and the exclusive gold
