Isaac 'WestmenloAA' Baron Also Makes Final Table Amid Stacked
Top 20
Another day, another Full
Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) event, and the prize pool
rose above $1 million once again.
Last night’s event was the $300 buy-in sixhanded no-limit
hold’em (with rebuys) tournament. The event had a $450,000
guarantee but crushed that number when the 1,133 entrants rebought
1,652 times and added on 569 times, bringing the total prize pool
to $1,006,200. The first-place finisher stood to snag $209,793.
And there were plenty of notable players still in the running
when it got down to the top 20. Among those still in the tournament
were Annette “Annette_15” Obrestad, Isaac “mjorgenson13”
Baron (better known as westmenloAA), Jordan “pimpin_pens”
Smith (better known as scarface_79), Owen “ocrowe”
Crowe, Steve “thorladen” Weinstein, and Matt “mattyv”
Vengrin. Of those six players, four were knocked out before the
final table. Annette_15 finished in 17th ($6,540), ocrowe in 13th
($8,050), thorladen in 10th ($15,093) and pimpin_pens in seventh
($21,130).
Mjorgenson13 and mattyv both made it to the final table of six
players, but mjorgenson13 became the second elimination of the
table. He took home $53,329 for fifth place. Mattyv made it to
heads-up play with johnnypoker69 and mattyv wound up raking in
the final pot. He took down the $209,793 first-place prize and
the exclusive gold FTOPS jersey avatar.
The final results were:
1) Matt “mattyv” Vengrin - $209,723
2) johnnypoker69 - $139,862
3) readmyline - $99,614
4) BLAKE39 - $74,459
5) Isaac “mjorgenson13” Baron - $53,329
6) qwerty987 - $34,211
Today’s event is a $100,000-guaranteed seven-card
stud tournament with a $200 buy-in (with $16 entry fee). The
tournament starts at 9 p.m. ET. Those interested in signing up
