The action was sure to be fast paced heading into Wednesday’s FTOPS Event #17. The format for this event was 6-max NL Hold’em with rebuys, and featured a $1,000,000 guarantee. With a $300+$22 buyin, the 1,059 entries ponied up 2,239 rebuys and 727 add-ons, making the final prize pool an impressive $1,207,500.
The final three tables were loaded with big names, including ChipSteela, eisenhower1, Luke “IWEARGOGGLES” Staudenmaier, the ever-dangerous Chris “MoormanI” Moorman, and top online and live pro Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul (GetPWN3D on Full Tilt). The Full Tilt red pros also had a strong showing, with Ram Vaswani and Nick Schulman both making the final two tables.
Headed into the final table, IWEARGOGGLES held the chip lead, followed by MishkaT. IWEARGOGGLES ended up going out in 3rd place leaving MishkaT and Kevin Saul heads up. After a long battle, MishkaT ended up with the win and a whopping $251,763.75 payday.
Saul ended up taking home $167,842.50 for his 2nd place finish, continuing an incredible recent hot streak. He recently finished 4th in FTOPS Event #12 for $105,000 and also won Full Tilt’s $40K guaranteed $163 buyin tournament for $15,938.
