I didn't win the $18,000 from the $10+$1 Stars Hundred Grand yesterday (how do you get away from TPTK with only 10 big blinds left??). Its back to reporting on the going ons around the internet poker sites (which I heavily favor PokerStars and Full Tilt for no reason other then being American and those are the two sites most of us play at). If you'd like your site to be featured, please drop a comment!

With that being said, the Full Tilt Online Poker Series chalked up another successful weekend as all the tourneys hit their guarantees denying the players of any overlay. Included with those tourneys mentioned, was Event #9 a $300 + $22 buy in which carried a $1.5 million guarantee and saw off 5,090 runners while hosted by Gus Hansen.

_FlaXmarZ_ took home the biggest prize of the weekend, $263,438.04, in winning Event #9. One had to look pretty far down the money list to find Keith Sexton as the highest finishing "red" Full Tilt pro.

Today roster for the FTOPS VIII is the Pot Limit Omaha Eight or Better $200 + $16 buy in event with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow there to tell you how poorly you played that wrap draw, and another $1.5 million guarantee NLHE tourney with a $1,000 + $60 buy in being hosted by Nick Schulman.
