FTOPS VII Events #2 and #3
Full Tilt's Online Poker Series VII had an early start, and late ending yesterday as the afternoon featured the Ben Roberts hosted $240+$16 Pot Limit Omaha Knockout tourney in which players earn money simply for knocking people out (worth $40). Even in the afternoon while some of us were pouring over spreadsheets and bad coffee at the office, Full Tilt players still broke the $200K guarantee with 1,183 entries that awarded a $52,052 to the winner.
Also the Full Tilt pros fared a little better as double World Series of Poker bracelet holder Scott Fischman finished 12th and Sigi Stockinger finished 5th. The big money went out to "urbestm8" and I'm sure he enjoyed the extra $40 for eliminating "KudelyKQ" in second.
Well known Blackjack shark and runner-up in the first $50,000 HORSE tourney at the WSOP, Andy Bloch, hosted the evening HORSE FTOPS event #3 with a $500+$35 buy in. Once again a Full Tilt Pro managed to weave thru the guarantee busting lineup of 623 players. This time Jens Vorertmann finished 6th as "WCJoker" hauled away $72,236.85 for the victory.
