FTOPS VII: Event #11 Chop Pots Abound
Limit Omaha Eight or Better has been on the tournament slate of many series, and the current Full Tilt Online Poker Series VII was no exception. The LO8 Event #11,with a $200+$16 buy in was hosted by Howard Lederer who also did not pull off an Erick Lindgren in winning his own event.
1,333 runners once again made the $200,000 prize pool guarantee from Full Tilt an after thought as a scanned the names of who placed and of course won the tourney last night. Familiar names to me at least like "davebreal", "The Omaholic", and "HOSSSE_U" I've seen while railing the higher stakes O8 games, and they used those skills to make the money. Four time World Series of Poker bracelet holder Huck Seed was the last remaining pro to give up their $200 bounty for knocking them from the tourney.
But it was "pycb" who took in nearly a quarter of the prize pool, winning $58,652.00 while weaving thru the field.
Next up, the players better loosen up their purse strings for this one, as it's a 6-max rebuy tourney hosted by Scott Clements.
