FTOPS Main Event -- $500 No-Limit Hold'em

The main event of the FTOPS XI featured a $2.5 million guarantee. That number ended up being right on the mark as 5,287 players put up the $500 buy in to create a total prize pool of $2,643,500.

The tournament, which was hosted by Full Tilt pro John Juanda, paid out 738 places. Among those notables to go deep were Cesar "makavelyces" Fuentes (96th), Taylor "ElMastermind" McFarland (83rd), Jeremy "JBurleson" Burleson (66th), Andy "BKice" Seth (50th), Jason "TheMasterJ33" Dewitt (44th), Jared "SmokinOkun" Okun (42nd), Chris "Cmoney3" Kline (40th), James "Mig_com" Mackey (35th), Faraz "The_Toilet0" Jaka (27th), Chris "Genius28" Lee (16th), Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis (13th).

There have been a few players to claim two FTOPS victories in their career, but for the first time in history, a player now has three. Adam "csimmsux" Geyer (pictured above right) won his first event in the summer of 2007 during FTOPS V, taking almost $73,000 for winning a pot-limit Omaha with rebuys event. During FTOPS VII, Geyer took down the $2,500 two-day event for another $488,000. On Sunday, Geyer pocketed another $456,000 for his main event victory.

Those victories now make Geyer the all-time winningest player in FTOPS events, putting him just ahead of another two-time winner, Halfrek.
