Event 20: No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max

Buy-inEntrantsPrize Pool
$1,000+60387$387,000

As you'd expect, the $1,060 price tag in Event 20 brought out some of the best in online poker, and the level of play didn't disappoint. Several notables made deep runs, including Charlie "Chaz_man_chaz" Combes (11th - $5,418), Steve "McNallyville" McNally (20th - $2,902), Mark “xqsays” Radoja (23rd - $2,902) and Kevin "kice32" Iacofano (25th - $2,515).

The final table was loaded with talent as Paur, Palacios and Virtue were each competing for the $92,106 top prize. After Virtue exited in fourth place, Paur, Palacios and "IITTII" agreed to a three-way deal, which saw each secure more than $55,000. Paur went on to win the tournament and his second FTOPS jersey after defeating Palacios heads-up.

In the end, the U.K.'s Jareth "hteraaj2001" East was the last man standing. After making a heads-up deal with "Tiltn_Mafks," East won the gold jersey and $28,564.
