PokerStars may have boasted the biggest prize pool of the weekend. However, Full Tilt could claim dominance when it came to attendance. The $750,000 Guarantee saw 4,430 entrants on Sunday. 585 players earned a portion of the $886k in the prize pool including JSchnett, who walked into the final table as the chip leader.
JSchnett claimed the first KO of the night as well, taking out GrMonkey with an A,Q. johnnyblaze23 smoked out busyboy with a pair of cowboys in the hole. JSchnett would remain in the match 'til deanoll hit an improbable straight on the river, negating his triple ducks. JShnett's third place finish was good for more than $60k so we're betting he has plenty of duckets to soothe his wounds.
johnnyblaze23 joined deanoll in the heads-up match-up. The players had about the same amount of chips going in. However, after rivering trip tens on a key hand, blaze took the lead and never relinquished it.
