Online Poker Weekend: A Wild and 'Willy' Finish in Full Tilt $1 Million Guarantee

Full Tilt Poker held its once-a-month $500+$35 version of its marquee Sunday tournament that attracted 2,239 players and created a total prize pool of $1,119,500. For those unable to pony up the money for a major online event elsewhere, this proved to a great alternative. Notable finishes included Cyndy Violette in 25th place ($4,366.05), Amanda Baker in 53rd place ($2,239), and omalos in 78th place ($1,791.20). Chip counts at the start of the final table were as follows:

All Golfer - 1,894,858
spazsoldier - 1,839,205
fyrtuk - 853,224
bobeads - 843,462
LIAMWAIN - 811,018
OneEyedWilly_1 - 566,720
Pjer - 438,680
DMill90 - 348,361
JOHNCL - 334,992

The first bustout hand of thee final table brought two eliminations. Fyrtuk, with (A-Diamonds)(K-Diamonds), and LIAMWAIN with (A-Hearts)(J-Diamonds), were both all in for their tournament lives against DMill90's (A-Spades)(A-Clubs). The board ran out (4-Spades)(7-Spades)(5-Clubs)(9-Clubs)(3-Hearts) and DMill90 won the big hand worth 2.5 million. LIAMWAIN earned $15,673 for ninth place while fyrtuk took home $20,598.80 for eighth. Next, Pjer finished the tournament in seventh place after OneEyedWilly_1 open-raised and Pjer moved all in for 239,640. From the small blind, bobeads then reraised all in to 718,692. OneEyedWilly_1 let it go and bobeads showed (A-Spades)(K-Spades), crushing Pjer's (A-Hearts)(10-Hearts). The flop came down (A-Diamonds)(8-Hearts)(4-Hearts) and gave Pjer a flush draw, but it never materialized as the turn and river came (J-Spades) and (Q-Spades). Pjer earned $26,308.25 for the seventh-place showing.

Sixth place was determined after JOHNCL moved all in from late position and spazsoldier called from the big blind. It was (K-Clubs)(Q-Spades) for JOHNCL but spazsoldier had him drawing thin, showing (A-Hearts)(Q-Hearts). The board ran out (J-Hearts)(2-Spades)(2-Diamonds)(5-Spades)(4-Hearts) and JOHNCL exited with $35,824 for sixth. Bobeads was the next to go when after committing in a raising war against All Golfer. Bobeads decided to call all-in with (K-Clubs)(7-Clubs) but was behind All Golfer's (A-Spades)(A-Diamonds). The board ran out (8-Hearts)(8-Clubs)(3-Diamonds)(Q-Clubs)(6-Diamonds) as bobeads just missed hitting a flush, finishing in fifth place for $49,817.75.

DMill90 was eliminated next after moving all in with pocket fours that ran into All Golfer's pocket jacks. A flopped set gave the hand to All Golfer and earned Dmill90 $65,826.60 for fourth place. Another three-way, all-in hand put two players at risk and almost ended the tournament. All Golfer had the table covered with (4-Spades)(4-Hearts) and looked to dodge overcards against OneEyedWilly_1's (A-Diamonds)(8-Spades) and spazsoldier's (A-Clubs)(K-Diamonds). The board only improved OneEyedWilly_1's hand as it came out (3-Clubs)(7-Hearts)(8-Hearts)(2-Spades)(Q-Diamonds). Spazsoldier collected $82,507.15 for third place.

The heads-up battle between OneEyedWilly_1 and All Golfer ended after both held two pair on a K-7-5-10 board. OneEyedWilly_1's K-7 bested All Golfer's 6-5 and the river sent All Golfer to the proverbial 19th hole, where he could commisserate with $126,055.70 in runner-up money. OneEyedWilly_1's win was worth $205,372.28. The final results:

2. All Golfer - $126,055.70
3. spazsoldier - $82,507.15
4. DMill90 - $65,826.60
5. bobeads - $49,817.75
