Harlido took home over a quarter of a million dollars in taking the title for defeating P0KERPR0 heads up.
Eli Elezra hosted Event #12 a 6-max No Limit Hold Em' tourney that carried a sizable price tag of $1,000+$60 to event with a guarantee of $1.5 million in the prize pool. Fortunately for the players, they got a slice of Full Tilt's money again as 1,405 players ponied up the cash or tournament dollars for $95,000 in overlay bucks. A very successful run by two red letter pros, Ram Vaswani made the final table a took home $72,750.00 in fifth place, while Phil Gordon was the final table bubble boy in seventh but got $30,750.00 for his troubles.
