stuckmyass Takes FTOPS VIII Title in $109 Pot Limit Omaha Tourney
Former Celebrity Poker Showdown co-host, Phil Gordon headed to the virtual tables on Wednesday night. Gordon, a noted author and philanthropist as well as WPT champion, held court at the $300 + 22 NLHE 6-max, rebuy tournament with a $1,000,000 guarantee. 1,072 players joined him in the tournament, driving up the total prize pool to an impressive $1,132,800 with their 2,014 rebuys and 690 add-ons.
Berry Johnston continued to play solid poker. He's cashed in more events than any other Full Tilt Pro (except perhaps for Scott Fischman) in the eighth installment of the FTOPS. His 34th place finish netted him an additional $4,304.64. Also making bank in the event were online legends Eric “Rizen” Lynch, Tim “Tmay420” West and Adam “adamoos” Elpayaa. Robert Williamson III made an appearance in this event as Miss Lulu. He took the 85th slot and earned nearly $2,000 for his efforts.
stuckmyass and xqsays were the final players in the tournament. Each wanted the $236,189 prize that would be awarded to the first place finisher. They fought valiantly for the reward. In the end, stuckmyass claimed the last pot, taking down the tournament, the money, the special avatar and the leader board points.
Here are the final results:
1) stuckmyass - $236,188.80 2) xqsays - $157,459.20 3) NEONPILS99 - $112,147.20 4) Tmay420 - $83,827.20 5) STELLA05 - $60,038.40 6) tedsfishfry - $38,515.20
