Full Tilt seems to be a tad slow in updating their ninth edition of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series page so there's not much to go off of except the results from the main site.

Event #3 was a little different style of Hold Em' tourney as the $200+$16 event featured a shootout style with 6-max tables giving 144 players out of the starting 1,296 a slice of the $259,200 prize pool. The event hosting by Greg "FBT" Mueller was won by CapTinBisKuit who likes well timed captalizations and the $45,360 that he received for first place.

Event #4 brought the rebuy junkies out as the $300+$22 one rebuy and one add-on tourney attracted 970 players. Out of the 970 players 687 of them needed another stack and 658 hung around for the first break to purchase the add-on. Once again the $600,000 guarantee was not needed as the $694,500 prize pool awarded $159,735 to ryanghall.

Cyndy violette lent her hotness to Event #5's $200+$16 Stud Hi tourney. 581 players flipped over cards until they could do so no longer while amassing a $116,200 prize pool. Dread noughts found a way to defeat dark thoughts and edged out FellKnight for the title and $26,946.78 first place winnings.
