(Credit: Winning Supplies.com)
Full Tilt held its monthly one million dollar guarantee on Sunday, July 15 th . The tourney featured a $500 buy-in and about 2300 entrants. jse81, the eventual winner of the event, entered the final table as the chip leader and knocked out the first player with his pocket queens and the second with an A,10 after a ten spiked on the flop.
svenneskumpa left the tournament in seventh place after pushing all-in preflop with his pocket tens. Williamsdad called the bet and flipped over an Ad,Jh. The race was on and Williamsdad got his jack on the flop to gain the lead. The turn and the river yielded nada so that was it for svenne. Rkruok then found himself up against it when he discovered his pocket fives were no good against the pocket rockets of Williamsdad. Things got worse when the flop gave Williamsdad an unnecessary third ace for the set. Of course, we've seen rkruok before so we know it's just a matter of time before he returns to final table action again. His sixth place finish netted him a wee bit over $37,000 so it's all good.
These two knockouts helped Williamsdad take over the chip lead from jse18. By the time the action got down to three players, he had over a 2-to-1 advantage over his closest competitor. However, both of his opponents took turns taking his chips. After a series of bad beats and several outright defeats, Williamsdad went from the top of the heap to the rail.
Jse81 started heads-up play with 7.4 million chips to Vick12's 4 mil. The match wouldn't take long. About two minutes into the action, Vick12 raised it up to 240k preflop. jse81 then reraised to 640k. Vick12 called with 9s,6c. The flop was Ac,7c,5h. Each player checked. The turn brought a four of spades. This gave Vick12 an up and down gutshot straight draw. jse81 bet another 640k. Vick12 reraised all-in and showed her wares. Unfortunately, jse81 was holding top two pair. The river didn't give her the miracle she needed and the tourney was over.
Here are the final results:
1) jse81- $212,893.73 2) Vick12 - $130,672.30 3) Williamsdad - $85,528.85 4) Skill Game - $68,237.40 5) SirSilverMax - $51,642.25 6) rkruok - $37,136 7) svenneskumpa - $27,271.75 8) Stamdogg - $21,353.20 9) REIK - $16,247
Ultimate Bet saw a sharp increase in attendance this weekend. Last weekend only 813 folks paid to play in their Sunday $200,000 Guaranteed. On Sunday, the event had 998 entrants so the folks at the site that's home to Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth, among others, only had to shell out $400 to make the guarantee.
McNallyville was the chip leader as the final table started. Dmacm, who was a runner up in this event less than one month ago, put all his chips in with pocket sixes and watched his hopes flushed down “The Toilet” when his opponent called with a K,Q and made top pair on the flop. His seventh place finish earned him $6,500.
A few minutes later, The Toilet was sent packing. First, he lost a ton of chips when his opponent made trip nines to defeat his pocket hooks. Then, he pushed all-in with a Qh,9h and failed to improve against soggyvag's pocket tens. He received over $10,000 for his fifth-place finish.
Soggyvag, the eventual winner of the tournament, took down a big pot against _JackBauer24_ sending him to the rail in third place. As heads-up play began, soggyvag held 1.89 million chips versus McNallyville's 608k. Less than five minutes thereafter, soggyvag held all of McNallyville's chips.
These are the final table standings:
1) soggyvag - $45,000 2) McNallyville - $26,500 3) _JackBauer24_ - $18,000 4) raphou - $13,100 5) The-Toilet - $10,500 6) cederljung - $8,500 7) Dmacm - $6,500 8) Body Man D - $4,500 9) weAkAce12 - $3,400 10) rur11 - $2,000

JDubya71 was number one as the final table got underway. gusive, the tournament's eventual winner, was in second place and A_theKevlar_2, held the third spot.
Each of these folks would make it to three-handed play with gusive and JDubya changing positions. Dubya would eliminate A_theKevlar_2, one of the internet's most feared names and well-known players, with his set of kings. theKev received $9,000, which is mere pocket change to him, for the third place finish.
As heads-up play began, Dubya had the chip lead. In what constitutes a marathon internet heads-up match, Dubya and gusive battled it out for almost half an hour. When all was said and done, gusive took over the lead and pulled out the win.
