FTOPS X Event #12: $200+16 PLHE/PLO
The tenth Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) continued on Tuesday with a tripleheader of event action. Event #12, a $200+16 "HA" (half PL Hold'em, half PL Omaha) tourney, attracted 936 entrants to create a total prize pool of $187,200. Notable finishes included fan4mizzou in ninth place ($2,902), Shane "UgottaBkiddin" Pacheco in 12th ($2,209), truesyalose in 24th ($1,030), bowser125 in 34th ($734.80) and PeachyMer in 43rd ($524.16). Chip counts to start the final table were as follows:
hmiester - 1,716,821
losebigpots - 813,539
Transeporter - 806,492
Jeff "Biggest Donkey" Banghart - 534,435
satfat - 465,329
JonStephenson - 343,384
Exiting the table first was satfat at 12,000/24,000 at PL Hold'em. On the button, losebigpots raised to 72,000 and satfat reraised to 222,898 from the small blind. Losebigpots then reraised enough to put satfat all in. After a few moments satfat called with (A-Hearts)(Q-Diamonds), but trailed losebigpots' (A-Diamonds)(K-Diamonds). The board ran out (5-Spades)(K-Spades)(J-Hearts)(Q-Hearts)(6-Diamonds), sending satfat home in sixth for $6,485.40. Transeporter was eliminated next at 15,000/30,000 PL Omaha. The board read (7-Spades)(9-Clubs)(6-Hearts)(A-Diamonds) after the turn and JonStephenson bet the pot of 226,500. Transeporter shoved all in for 427,047, getting a fold from hmiester. JonStephenson called and turned up (A-Hearts)(6-Clubs)(K-Diamonds)(J-Clubs) for two pair but was against Transeporter's (10-Spades)(8-Diamonds)(Q-Clubs)(7-Diamonds) for the nut straight. The river, however, was the (A-Clubs), making a full boat for JonStephenson. Transeporter finished fifth for $10,108.80. Jeff "Biggest Donkey" Banghart was eliminated at the same level after moving in with a short stack of 149,551 and getting called by two opponents. The pot was checked down and Banghart did not win, finishing in fourth for $14,227.20.
Finishing in third place was JonStephenson after losing a big pot to losebigpots at the 25,000/50,000 PLO level. From the small blind, JonStephenson raised to 150,000 and losebigpots called from the big blind. When the flop came (2-Clubs)(4-Clubs)(7-Diamonds) JonStephenson led out for 300,000, but was raised to 1,200,000 by losebigpots. An all-in shove from JonStephenson meant losebigpots was all in when he called. The hands were (9-Spades)(9-Hearts)(A-Diamonds)(K-Diamonds) for JonStephenson and (A-Spades)(4-Diamonds)(5-Clubs)(K-Clubs) for losebigpots. The (3-Diamonds) hit the turn and made a wheel for losebigpots, severely denting JonStephenson's stack, who was later eliminated in third for $18,720.
These were the chip counts at the start of heads-up play:
losebigpots - 3,187,241
hmiester - 1,492,759
The battle lasted about 35 hands, but losebigpots maintained his lead and won the tournament. It ended at the 30,000/60,000 round of pot-limit hold'em. Losebigpots, holding (A-Spades)(8-Hearts), bet enough to set hmiester all in, and hmiester called with (J-Clubs)(7-Spades). The board ran out (4-Clubs)(3-Diamonds)(2-Spades)(5-Spades)(4-Hearts) and hmiester finished as the runner-up for $26,208, while losebigpots collected $39,967.20 and emerged as the winner of Event #12.
Final Results:
1. losebigpots - $39,967.20
2. hmiester - $26,208
3. JonStephenson - $18,720
4. Jeff "Biggest Donkey" Banghart - $14,227.20
