FTOPS V Events Two and Three
Filed in archive Internet Poker by David Aydt on August 17, 2007
Here's a small portion of the recap from Full Tilt.com:
Though the railbirds flew the coop for the opening of the $150K HORSE event, they managed to migrate back and made their presence known as the final table played out - even the Event #1 champion, "Kadabra" made an appearance, calling for an FTOPS tournament of champions. But the chirping from the rail was no match for fourth-place finisher "RiverKill3er" who had the quote of the night with, "I play high-stakes jump rope" - one small part of the craziness at the final table.
Unfortunately, a sense of humor - or jump roping talent - was not enough to keep "RiverKill3er" in the tournament. After the break, "RiverKill3er" was silenced, mucking the elimination hand against "AngelTheresa's" Ace-high flush, but still had a good laugh, taking home more than $12K for his fourth-place finish.
Third-place finisher, "joshuah333" was then crippled during the closing stages of Omaha Hi/Lo by "AngelTheresa's" full house, and eliminated shortly thereafter in the opening stages of Razz play. (continued at Full Tilt.com)
For FTOPS event #3 the $216 buy in, multiple World Series of Poker bracelet champion Allen Cunningham dropped by to challenge over 1,600 players for the nearly $62 thousand dollar winner's share.

But "Red Bikini" soon evened things up after winning a big pot, and the action went back and forth from there. Then, after over an hour of final table play, "Red Bikini" was all-in with pocket 5s versus the A-7 of "JensV," with the championship on the line. There was no luck for "JensV" on the flop, but it did open up the possibility of a backdoor flush with her seven of diamonds. Runner-runner diamonds sealed the deal for "JensV" as she was crowned champion of FTOPS Event #3. "Red Bikini" put up a great fight and won a terrific $38,144.40 for her performance. But in the end, it was "JensV," whose solid play throughout this marathon tournament, earned her $61,901 in prize money and the coveted gold FTOPS jersey... (continued at Full Tilt.com)
