FTOPS ends on a high note

08/17/2010

The seventeenth edition of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series came to an exciting close this week after 12 days, as an original field of 4 805 players was refined to a heads up between TyboVegas and DQnk that ended with a win for the former but a better finish for the second placed DQnk, thanks to a chop during the action.

The $640 buy-in event generated a prize pool over $3 million, ensuring a $423 057 winner's payout, eclipsed by the second placed DQnk's check for $446 943 due to the heads up deal.

The final table comprised the two heads up finalists, along with players (in order of finishing places) flagal43, roo7227, Ship_the_dollar, jfiiue4, einstein007, angrywhale and JBurleson, with six figure paydays accruing down to position five.
