Mike ‘CuteiswhatIaim4’ Telker won Full Tilt Online Poker Series XIX Event 27. First prize was good for $408,068 in this multi entry $1,000 NLHE event. There were 2321 entries for a massive $2,321,000 prize pool, smashing the $750,000 guarantee.
The tournament was hosted by none other than high stakes cash game regular and international businessman Eli Elezra. Elezra is a Full Tilt Pro and has over $1.9 Million in tournament winnings.
This is a huge win for CuteiswhatIaim4, the MTT pro, who’s previous largest online cash was $96,000 in January 2010. The final prize reflects a deal that was cut when the tournament got to heads up. Three days earlier cuteiswhatIam4 took 3rd in FTOPS XIX event #18 for $60,000. As far as poker is concerned, Mike Telker is having a stellar year.
Coming in a close second, taking home $371,671, was Kirbynator, a well known MTT Pro who won the 2010 FTOPS main event for $327,000. Must be nice.
