Six figures payouts for top three players in NLHE event

 

The eleventh edition of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series continued to attract large crowds of players this week, with Event 10, a $300+22 no-limit hold 'em tournament guaranteeing $1,5 million in prizes, pulling ‘em in.

The event was supported by 5 325 entries, generating a prize pool that exceeded the guarantee by $97 500 – the biggest thus far in an exciting series of tournaments.

Surviving the field, and a hectic final table was Steve "gboro780" Gross, who took home $275 600 and change for his time and effort. The six figure payments stretched to the top three finishers, with Gross’s heads up opponent BUSTYOU79 collecting a check for $166,938.75 and third placed Shoomie a useful payout of $107 352.

Gross entered heads up play with a more than $7 million advantage in chips, ensuring a brief two hands of heads up play before the match was decided.
