The Full Tilt Online Poker Series X kicked off on November 5. This double digit series started off just as all the others, with the first event being $216 no-limit hold’em 6 Max. However, the entire purse just keeps growing, because this series has 25 events with more than $15 million guaranteed. It’s pretty amazing at how far the FTOPS has come. Back in FTOPS I there were just 9 events, and the total guarantee for the entire series was just $1 million.
Speaking of $1 million, that was the guarantee for event 1 of FTOPS X. Just this one event out of the 25 was worth more than the entire FTOPS I! The kickoff was hosted by the colorful Mike Matusow. If you know poker, Matusow needs no introduction. He is a member of Team Full Tilt and has over $6.5 million in career tournament earnings, including 3 WSOP bracelets, one of which won in the 2008 WSOP.
As expected, the guarantee was broken when 5,124 hopefuls either satellited or bought in, increasing the prize pool to $1,024,800, awarding 1st place a cool $195k! 492 people would make money in this tournament, which was worth at least $358.68. Of these 5k+, 39 red pros came to prove their worth. However, many were struck down early by the massive field, including host Mike Matusow who finished 4,548. Only 4 pros finished in the money, with Aaron Bartley doing the best at 225th for $563.64.
But it wasn’t just finishing in the money most players had in mind, it was a seat at the final table. Just making it to the promised land, you would be walking away with at least $30k with the shot at nearly $200k. After hours and hours of play, there were 9 left battling it out for a seat at the shorthanded final table.
All eyes had to have been on the player Halfrek. If you recall from series 8, he had what you could call a decent run. He won 2 events, and netted over $800k. The other 8 players did not fear him. They all had their mind on the jersey. The other 8 that made up the final 9 were WhiteBoi05, FaGi, davin77, Bog25, Always TrustMe, imabigkidnow, SisterSue056, and smoothustler.
As play continued, Halfrek could not become the first to win 3 FTOPS titles, as he was the first to go for just over $13k. The next 2 to drop were WhiteBoi05 in 8th and imabigkidnow in 7th, leaving the final 6 to go at it. The shorthanded format had people playing like crazy, and the final table was no different. Although people commented how the structure seemed better for this event compared to previous series, there wasn’t much room to pick your spots.
After a total of nearly 10 hours of play, a champion was crowned. The player davin77 overcame 5,123 other players and was the first to snag a yellow jersey and nearly $200k to show for it. Congratulations to davin77 and everyone else won finish in the money in event 1 of FTOPS X, nlhe 6-max.
