FTOPS XIII: Final Table Deals Rule the Night

August 12 2009, PokerNews Staff

It was a busy night last night on Full Tilt Poker as three more FTOPS champions were crowned, with the biggest winner of the night, "River_Vlad" actually finishing second in Event #15, but receiving more money than first due to Full Tilt's new software that allows final table deals to be made.

"bgitty", took down Event #13, the 3x Shootout event for his Gold Jersey, eventually chopping with "ROBUSTYOU22" after beating out a final table that included Julian Verse, a former FTOPS Main Event champion with almost a million in earnings on Full Tilt alone who finished 8th, and 9th place finisher, noted poker author, Michael Craig, who most recently finished runner-up to Jeffrey Lisandro for a WSOP bracelet earlier this summer.

Events #14 and #15 both saw final table deals as well, with "dave3318" and "Str8Forward" splitting about $120,000 in the H.O.R.S.E. event, and "the snaffler", "River_Vlad", and Full Tilt Pro Aaron Bartley deciding on a three-handed chop in the Turbo event, with the title being awarded to "the snaffler".
