Event Nos. 4 and 5 of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) V were held yesterday and both were well-attended and event No. 5 had some big names at its final table.
Event No. 4, the $150,000-guaranteed $500 buy-in shorthanded pot-limit Omaha event, lured 622 entrants to generate a total prize pool of $311,000. Robert Mizrachi, the host of the event, eventually busted out in 36th place ($1,244) and was the deepest-finishing red-named Full Tilt pro. Notable Internet player Tutnik made the final table of the event and was eventually eliminated in third place, earning $31,504. The heads-up battle raged between serialkaller and bmqball. Bmqball ultimately took down the final pot to snag the $66,865 first-place prize and the exclusive gold FTOPS jersey avatar.
The final results for that tournament were:
1) bmqball – $66,865
2) serialkaller – $43,851
3) Tutnik – $31,504.30
4) Buckster316 – $23,947
5) YoungSupremacy – $17,105
6) D2THEMFI – $10,885
While event No. 5 didn't more than double its guarantee like event No. 4 did, the $300,000-guaranteed $100 buy-in no-limit hold'em (with rebuys) event was still quite successful. The event had 1,678 entrants who rebought 2,277 times and added-on 807 times, which built a prize pool of $476,200. Team Full Tilt member Allen Cunningham was the longest-lasting red-name Full Tilt pro in the tournament, finishing in 74th place ($738).
Cunningham may not have made it to the last nine players, but the final table had its fair share of prominent Internet pros, anyway. Among those at the final table were Gary "GB2005" Bogdanski and Garrett "GBecks" Beckman. GB2005 eventually busted out in fifth place after getting drawn out on in two big hands (K-K versus A-K and J-J versus 10-10). He earned $29,191. GBecks made it all the way to heads-up play and eventually eliminated his opponent, 20KJAY, to take down the tournament. He earned $102,383 for his first-place finish along with the exclusive gold FTOPS jersey avatar.
The final results of this tournament were:
1) Garrett "GBecks" Beckman – $102,383
2) 20KJAY – $66,668
3) flopdisasta – $48,215.25
4) darkbet – $38,691.25
5) Gary "GB2005" Bogdanski – $29,191.06
6) LaJune – $21,429
7) ontherocksuga – $13,809.80
8) Doobie75 – 10,000.20
9) Vanssi – 7,081.10
