FULL TILT POKER WINNER TAKES HOME $224 634
*Spiked* the best out of 2 449
Besting a starting field of almost 2 500 other hungry poker players is no mean feat, but that's what player *Spiked* achieved in the second Full Tilt Online Poker Series II (FTOPS) Main Event this week, defeating a field of 2449 No-Limit Hold'em players for a $224 634 first place paycheck.
The competition was fierce and prolonged, but once the last nine players reached the final table it was all over in an hour Full Tilt reports.
Runner-up "dmkai3" gave the winner a tough heads-up finish, with the final duo playing nearly three dozen intense hands, but "Spiked" entered heads-up play as a 6-to-1 chip leader and "dmkai3" was never able to overcome the deficit. It was worth the stress, for "dmkai3" picked up $137 878 for finishing second.
FTOPS 2 attracted a large contingent of Full Tilt and other pros, attracted by the $1 million prize pool, and names like Eric Froelich, John Juanda, Erick Lindgren, Keith Sexton, Berry Johnston, Stuart Patterson, Carlos Mortensen, Mike Matusow, David Chui, Steve Brecher, Jeff Madsen, Rafe Furst, Lynette Chan, and Huck Seed featured in the starter line-up for the Main Event.
