Groundhog Day at FTOPS V's $2,500 Event
Live tourney see buy ins in excess of a thousand dollars often. But when an online tourney features one costing $2,500 you'll can see the best of the best running to take a swipe at those who flocked over to Full Tilt.com's event number twelve which featured their first two day tourney.

Phil Ivey, known for playing low stakes games like $2/$4... thousand dollar blinds while playing the cash tables, was the host for this $1.62 million dollar prize pool and a nearly 400K going out to the winner. Three Full Tilt pros hung around long enough to play day two: David Chiu, Max Pescatori (who final tabled the studlinks event), and from Canada Eddy Scharf, but none would reach the final table.

Grndhg25 held the chip lead after the first day, and walked into a mix of beats and bad cards while falling further and further into the chip count as the tourney progressed to the final table. But after a flopped straight versus TPTK (top pair top kicker) and few more all-ins he shoved his way into the final table chip lead...

... and eventually the win as Grndhg25 found himself on the good side of a cooler when both his heads up opponent and himself flopped trips but his queen kicked trumped Viktor's seven and he walked away with $396,900. For the complete recap head over to Full Tilt.com to read about Grndhg25's win.
