Event 12, with the third largest guaranteed prize pool of this season’s Full Tilt Poker FTOPS, got underway last night at 21:00 ET.  The $1,000 + $60 No Limit Hold’em Second Chance tournament brought out 1,630 hopefuls, helping the prize pool to sweep past the $1.5 million guarantee to a whopping $1,630,000!  Players that busted within the first two hours of the tournament were given the mercy of a second chance, one 5000 chip rebuy for free!  Nine hundred seventy-two players took advantage of the rebuy.  In the end, only one could claim the title and that winner was Steve Silverman, better known as “Zugwat.”

Young and rising poker pro Nick Schulman hosted the event.  This pro’s continued success is marked by several notable wins, including the 2005 WPT World Poker Finals at Foxwoods for $2.1 million.  He had just turned 21, making him the youngest winner of a WPT event.  He has also cashed in four World Series of Poker events, placed second at the 2007 WPT $10K No-Limit Hold ‘em at Foxwoods, and accquired over $3.3 million in tournament earnings.  However, all of Schulman’s past success and experience didn’t hold out for him time.  Nick Schulman busted out before making the money in 538th place.

Forty-five other red pros showed up for the event, including Allen Cunningham, Ryan Daut, Huckleberry Seed, David Pham, Scott Fischman, Jared Hamby, Matt Hawrilenko, and Chau Giang.  Of the forty-five, only four made it into the money.  Jared Hamby, also known as “TheWackoKidd,” made the deepest run, finishing in 100th place for $2,282.

No one, however, could keep up with Zugwat.  Zugwat, a champion known throughout several different poker sites, took down the event for a total of $350,450!  Not bad at all!

Congratulations to all of the FTOPS XI Event 12 winners!
