Andy Black hosted FTOPS X Event #8
This tournament came one buyin away from topping a $700,000 prizepool for a little NLHE 6-max Knockout action. It provided a Sunday afternoon full of craziness as players realized they were freerolling with just a handful of knockouts under their belt.
Four members of Team Full Tilt grabbed their first cash during FTOPS X but none made a very deep run.

Rebuy tournaments are notoriously tough to determine whether a guarantee will be reached and Event #7 proved the point giving the players a nearly $40k overlay. The $100+9 No Limit Hold’em with unlimited rebuys attracted 1,893 players with 2,658 rebuys and 1,083 add-ons missing the $600,000 guarantee. $123,600 would be awarded to the last player standing.
2008 World Series of Poker Event #32 winner Luis Velador would be the member of Team Full Tilt to last the longest.

Brian Hastings of Team CardRunners ran deep in FTOPS X Event #6
FTOPS X Event #6 attracted 642 entrants for the $500+35 6-max Pot Limit Omaha tournament just missing the $350,000 guarantee bringing a little overlay to the players. It looked like was a great chance for two members of Team Full Tilt to make the final table but fell short.

Scott Fischman was the sole member of Team Full Tilt to cash in FTOPS X Event #5
FTOPS X Event #5 was a $200+16 Limit Hold’em 6-max tournament. Thoughts of watching paint dry and grass grow run through my mind. 879 players bought in creating a $175,800 prizepool. The final table resembled a United Nations committee with players from the US, Norway, Australia, Canada and Germany.

Aaron Bartley came close to winning one for team Full Tilt in FTOPS X Event #4

The $300,000 guarantee was not reached so there a bit of an overlay for the event. Aaron Bartley is officially having a great start to FTOPS X with his 3rd cash in the first 4 events and a $64,000 payday for his 3rd place finish.

Austrian pro Sigi Stockinger hosts FTOPS X Event #2, Pot Limit Omaha
With the game being Pot Limit Omaha and the early US start time it was no big surprise that the field would be dominated by a ton of top European players. Event #2 Pot Limit Omaha with Knockouts drew 1,165 players and the knockout bounties kept action moving quickly. This event also brought us our first Full Tilt red letter pro to a final table.

Mike Matusow hosted FTOPS X Event #1

So without further ado, let’s get this weekly wrap-up under way:
