FTOPS V Gets Crazy With Main Event
As with all big poker tourney series, the main event marks an ending of the preliminary events, and the start of what all the hungry Rounders have been crawling for thru the last weeks of the event. The Full Tilt Online Poker Series number five came to a smashing conclusion with 4,578 players hoping to avoid all suckouts and bad beats long enough to score the $395,905.44 first prize.

Paul Wasicka, the 2006 World Series of Poker main event runner-up, NBC Heads-Up champion, and banking $1.1 million dollars this year in tournament winnings, dropped by to host the event. Despite being devoid of the red name that signifies a Full Tilt poker pro, the final table did send most people home happy.

A couple of players managed to turn satellite wins into a Return On Investment that would make Donald Trump turn green with envy. MFjimmyLOWRY turned a $4.40 super-sat win into a 4th place finish and taking home $122K to the quarter limit tables to win a couple more happy meals.

CrazyZachary liked chips enough to run home with the first place prize and can brag to everyone on Yahoo IM and the 2+2 messages boards about winning the main event. Granted it wasn't the WSOP, but nearly $400K and taking down a 4,500+ entry event isn't exactly child's play. Congrats to CrazyZachary, here's the write up directly from Full Tilt.com
