Yesterday was the start of the 11th FTOPS series at Full Tilt Poker. It started out with a $1 Million guaranteed tournament that had a buy in of $216. This tournament attracted a total of 6275 players so the total prize pool reached $1.225.000.
When only nine players remained it was time to get the final table started. The following nine players made the final table of this first event:
Muckducks
Sticky seat
John Newcombe
Amster_ATX
Headbang
Two8off
Song1234
Almerud
Ich_bin_pro
The first player to leave the final table was amstel_ATX after pushing all in with A-10 and getting called by K-K. The board was of no help to amstel_ATX and he would have to settle with a $16.315 win.
When it finally got down to heads up play it was sticky seat and muckducks who were going to fight it out.
One of the hands that decided the outcome of the whole tournament came in the heads up play between these two players when muck ducks went all in holding 7-7 and got called my sticky seat holding Q-Q. At this time all sticky seat needed to do in order to win the tournament was to dodge a 7 on the five community cards. The flop came 9 A K and so far it was looking great for sticky seat. When the turn showed an 8 sticky seat was probably starting to celebrate but that didn't last long as muckducks hit his two outer when the 7 fell on the river.
After this hand sticky seat was really short stacked and didn't stand much of a chance al he busted out in second place shortly after.

1. Muckducks - $216.512
