FTOPS Day 5: Sebastian "p00cket00" Sikorski Defeats Chris Moorman Heads-up in Event #11

December 07 2012, Brett Collson

The Full Tilt Online Poker Series XXI continued Thursday with two more events from the 35-event schedule — Event #10 $216 Limit Hold'em Rush Multi-Entry w/ Rebuys and Event #11 $322 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout.

Both tournaments saw some of online poker's biggest names reach final tables. In Event #10, Aussie phenom James "TheFatFISH" Obst finished runner-up to "bullyingpros" to collect $11,400. And in Event #11, Sebastian "p00cket00" Sikorski ousted Chris "Moorman1" Moorman heads-up for the title and more than $27,000.

Thursday's win pushed Sikorski into the top 10 of the FTOPS XXI leader board. He sits in sixth place with 294 points, still a large margin behind points leader "mrcall912" (431 points), who finished fourth in Event #10 on Thursday. Notables Jeremiah "Believer8219" Vinsant (4th — 300 points), Chance "Chances Cards" Kornuth (6th — 272 points) and Chris “maxxscam” Back (10th — 235 points) are also in the top 10 of the leader board.

Here’s a summary of Thursday’s tournaments:

Event #10: $216 Limit Hold'em Rush Multi-Entry

Event #10 fell short of its $75,000 guaranteed prize pool, meaning the 363 players in attendance had a $2,400 overlay. The event still brought out some of the biggest names in the game and many former FTOPS champs, including Obst, who reached his seventh career FTOPS final table.

Obst was seeking his third FTOPS jersey, but ultimately fell short after losing heads-up to "bullingpros". Also making the final table was "mrcall912," who increased his lead in the FTOPS XXI leader board with a fourth-place finish in this event. On Tuesday, "mrcall912" won Event #6, the $216 H.O.R.S.E. tournament for $18,699.

Event #11: $322 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout

Event #11 easily surpassed its $100,000 guarantee as the 425 entrants generated a prize pool of $127,500. The eventual winner of the $322 buy-in shootout would need to win three tables to collect the top prize of $27,412 and the gold jersey.

Two of online poker's most accomplished tournament players won their first two tables to reach the final table. Sikorski and Moorman, who have combined for more than $13 million in online tournaments cashes, outlasted the other seven players at the final tabled and faced off in an epic heads-up match late Thursday night. Sikorski finished on top to collect his first FTOPS jersey.

FTOPS XXI will resume on Friday with two more events: Event #12 $216 No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max ($150,000 guarantee at 1100 ET ) and Event #13 $322 2-7 Triple Draw Six-Max ($20,000 guarantee at 1400 ET). To view the entire schedule, head over to FullTiltPoker.com.
