Over 1000 players decided to test their skill, and luck, in FTOPS Event 31, Super Turbo No Limit Hold ‘Em Knockout. Players started with just 300 chips and the blinds rose every five minutes, leaving little to no room for post-flop play. The $115 a player got for eliminating an opponent did sweeten the deal. Getting lucky and winning coin flips were a major part in deciding how much of the $400,000 prize pool a player would receive.

Six Full Tilt Red Pros made the money in Event 31. High stakes cash game player Eli Elezra finished in 40th position. Many B continued her strong series by finishing in 22nd. Two-time Bracelet winner and former Magic: The Gathering Player Eric Froehlich claimed 34th place.  Turbo specialist Michael Craig finished in 49th.

When it was all said and done, Australian poker prodigy Brendooor took home the gold jersey and $92,000. He took down the $33,000 Guaranteed earlier this month. Antonio18, not the magician, was the runner-up collecting almost $60,000. The third place finisher was Kristin1971 who also made a deep run in the FTOPS 2-day event.

The final table results appear below. Congratulations to everyone who participated in FTOPS XVII!
