Posted by: James Carter. - Tue, 2010-05-11 04:52
The weekend saw no fewer than 3 players walk away with 6-figure prizes from Full Tilt Poker’s tournament tables. kate_sexy was the biggest winner, having pocketed $107,500 in the $750k Guarantee.
The poker tournament featured a buy-in of $200+$16 and it attracted an impressive starting field of 3,414 players. The prize-pool failed to exceed the guarantee though.
Kate_sexy struck a deal with Andres Pereyra heads-up, which probably ended up costing her a lot of money. Pereyra eventually finished with $105,537, not even $2k off the winner’s haul.
OJ Limpsin finished 3rd for $52.5k and Steve McNally ended up in 4th for $41.4k. Notable finishes were those of Amanda Baker and Keith Ferrera who ended up in 11th and 17th respectively.
The
online poker tournament action was not over with the 750k GTD though. The Sunday Brawl featured a slightly bigger buy-in at $240+$16, and it attracted 2,529 players. The resulting prize-pool was a $505,800 one, which meant that the winner would walk away with a 6-figure profit in this event as well.
Sure enough, no deals were made at the final table, and shamdonk, the winner, walked away with $102,677.
Brent Hanks finished second for $66k and Dylan Hortin in 3rd, for $49k. of the notables, Jeremy Menard came up with a 21st place effort, worth $1.5k.
The Sunday Mulligan is always less popular than
Full Tilt Poker’s other weekend offers, but it still managed to attract 1,255 entrants. The $200+$16 buy-ins were combined to generate a $251,000 prize-pool.
Lilla82 won this one, taking home $55,220. SCNoodle finished 2nd for $35,140. BILLDEAL was 3rd.
Notable finishes were those of Josh Weizer and Thiago Nishijima, who finished 25th and 27th respectively.
The $30+$3 Mini FTOPS event also took place over the weekend. The small buy-in generated great interest among players, together with a $600k prize-pool. Hulla00 bested a starting field of 14,396 players, and took home $46,734 after a 5-way deal at the top. His was not the largest prize though. Highcardacek took down $61,699 for his 4th place finish to score the biggest haul of the event.
Ralph Michalowski finished 24th in this tourney.
Ultimate Bet’s $200k GTD was won by SODAIRA11, who pocketed $45,700 for his efforts. No deals were made in this poker tournament.
