FTOPS XXII – Day 10 Report

The 10th day of
Full Tilt Poker’s FTOPS XXII saw the 26th event of the series go into the books, which leaves 12 more events to go and around $5 million in guaranteed prizes.
Event #24 was the first FTOPS event of Day 10. A total of 412 players coughed up the $216 buy-in for this one, creating a prize-pool of $82.4k, handily covering the $75k original guarantee. There weren’t any deals at the top of this event. The winner, bennyblanko1tda, pocketed $18.1k. He bested Joseph Spanne heads-up who was the “name” player who made the deepest run: his second place was worth $11.9k. None of the other players made it into 5-figure territory.
Bolivar Palacios made a relatively deep run as well: he finished 26th for a $494 prize.
Event #25 saw 146 players belly up to its tables. The $216 Five-Card Stud 6-max event didn’t offer a particularly generous guarantee to begin with, and despite the relatively shallow starting field, it was covered in the end: the resulting prize-pool was a $29.2k one.
This
poker tournament saw a 2-way deal at its top: the eventual winner, Leqenden13 walked away with $6.86k. The runner-up, bond25459, took home $6.25k for his efforts.
Joseph Cheong made a nice deep run in this event: he finished 3rd, picking up $3.7k. Another deep finishing notable was Stephen Chidwick, who pocketed $1.89k for his 5th place.
The biggest FTOPS winner of the day came from event #26, $109
NL Holdem Turbo Re-buy and Add-on event, which saw a field of 799 players belly up to its tables? This event truly put its guarantee to shame: instead of the initially advertised $60k, players did battle for a $199k prize-pool. There weren’t any deals made in this event either: Ladbrokes finished on top, collecting $45.7k.
