Full Tilt Poker red pros Jens Voertmann and Isaac Baron both cracked the top 100 of the event. Baron finished in 47th and Voertmann took 33rd to finished as the top Full Tilt red pro of the event. SNACKERS of Sunday Night H.O.R.S.E fame took 39th

Buttsauce33 entered final table play as the chip leader with henchness24 right behind him. Perlini1 was the only other player entering the final table with over a Million chips. This is how the final nine players started final table play:

AllTheAce 956,451

bigt439 877,567

Paul Merson 498,471

jesarah 772,759

RollinHand1 453,734

henchness24 2,089,756

perlini1 1,190,624

buttsauce33 3,849,037

TheRyanKing07 825,601

The 2nd hand of the final table brought our first elimination. RollinHand1 moved all-in from the small blind with Ad-10c and was called by henchness24 in the big blind with Qd-9c. A queen on the flop left RollinHand1 needing an ace. The turn and river both fell jacks and RollinHand1 finished in 9th.

Jesarah finished in 8th. After perlini1 raised to 120,000 pre-flop, jesarah moved all-in for just under 700k. It was A-9 for Jesarah against the A-Q of perlini1. Both hit their kicker on the flop with perlini1 retaining the lead to the river, eliminating jesarah.

TheRyanKing07 moved all-in from the button for 895,378 and was called by bigt439 in the big blind for 749,567. Bigt439 was ahead with A-7 against A-6. The flop was a crusher for bigt439 as a six hit the flop. A seven failed to hit the turn or river and bigt439 finished in 7th.

AllTheAce moved all-in under the gun for 384k and Paul Merson reshoved for 1.3 Million UTG+1. Merson held pocket sevens against Ac-3c. The flop produced a three, but the only ace that AllTheAce saw was the one already in his hand. AllTheAce hit the rail in 6th.

Henchness24 moved all-in from the big blind after TheRyanKing07 raised from the button. TheRyanKing07 made the call and found his Ad-Qc ahead of henchness24’s Kc-8c. The board fell jack-high and henchness24 finished in 5th.

TheRyanKing took a dominating chip lead after sending Paul Merson home in 4th. Merson raised to 130,000 pre-flop and only TheRyanKing07 called. On a flop of 9d-5c-4s, TheRyanKing07 check-raised Merson all-in. Merson made the call holding Ah-9h for top pair. TheRyanKing07 held Kh-5h for middle pair. The turn 3h missed both players, but the river 5s gave TheRyanKing07 trip fives and send Paul Merson home in 4th.

A deal was discussed between the three players. Terms were agreed to and the deal payouts are as follows:

TheRyanKing07 $106,759.75

buttsauce23 $90,795

perlini1 $66,060.97

$8,100 was played out for. First would receive an additional $6,058.87 and 2nd and additional $2,094.17. Third would get a whopping 2 cents additional. That’s about what Ac-5d is worth. Perlini1 called an all-in shove from TheRyanKing07 with said A-5 and was actually ahead of TheRyanKing07’s 7-6. A six on the flop was enough to send perlini1 to the rail to receive those extra two pennies. Don’t spend it all in one place.

The final hand of this event was as sick a hand as one would want to see. TheRyanKing07 raised to 169,999 from the button and buttsauce33 made the call. The flop fell Ks-Qh-10s and action was checked around. The turn fell the 8s and the fireworks kicked off. Buttsauce33 bet 222,222 and TheRyanKing07 raised to 666,999. Buttsauce33 three-bet to 1.52 Million and TheRyanKing07 moved all-in. Buttsauce33 snap-called and revealed that he had turned a flush, holding Qs-5s. TheRyanKing07 held Kh-8d for two pair. TheRyanKing07 had four outs to win the hand. As was evidenced earlier in the game, the poker gods were smiling favorably on TheRyanKing07 this day as the 8h hit the river to give TheRyanKing07 a full house and the win. Buttsauce33 finished in 2nd and took an additional $2,094.17 home.

TheRyanKing07 is the champion of this week’s Full Tilt Sunday 750k. He was able to catch lucky at just the right time and walked away with over $112,000 in cash and the coveted title. Congratulations.

The Full Tilt Poker Sunday 750k drew a strong crowd this week of 4,008 players. The prize pool for the event was $801,600. First would receive $141,554.54 with 585 players paid. The Full Tilt red pros didn’t really flock to this one. Many of the bigger names were visibly absent. This may be due to the WSOP Europe but we are not certain. Only two pros cashed in the event. Berry Johnston finished in 511th and Hans Vogl finished in 217th. “Anna Rexic” and Scott Neuman “kickyourace” were the only other notables making a strong run at the final table, finishing 66th and 64th respectively.
AmazingMiss entered the final table with the chip lead but CiderSipper was not far behind. This is how the final nine started final table play:

CooLJohN22222 1,334,095

goodvibe 479,864

cataron 1,892,903

colsha 1,898,768

StickyIckyEarl 185,196

The Good Life11 417,290

AmazingMiss 2,570,134

CiderSipper 2,242,390

want2bedomnated 1,003,360

StickyIckyEarl was the first eliminated from this final table. He open shoved for 165,196 and was called by AmazingMiss. It was Ks-Jd against the Ac-10s for AmazingMiss. A ten hit the flop, meaning that StickyIckyEarly had to make a pair to win. The turn and river were both blanks and StickyIckyEarl was the first final table casualty.

Goodvibe bid the final table goodbye in 7th place. Cataron min-raised to 80,000 under-the-gun and AmazingMiss re-raised to 320,000. Goodvibe then moved all-in for 364,864 and both opponents made the call. The board was checked to the river. At the river, the board read 5h-Jh-7s-3h-9c and cataron bet out 280,000. AmazingMiss made the call and mucked when cataron showed Ah-Qh for the nut flush. Goodvibe mucked as well and hit the rail in 8th place.

CiderSipper started the final table 2nd in chips but must have been drinking something other than cider as he bled chips off to where he was left with just under 200,000. He open shoved for 188,795 and was called by both colsha and AmazingMiss. The flop of Qc-Qs-4c was checked around. The turn fell the 5c and AmazingMiss bet out 100,000. Colsha folded and CiderSipper discovered his Ks-Js was drawing dead to the Qh-10d and the trips of AmazingMiss. The river fell the 10s to give AmazingMiss the overkill full-house and send CiderSipper home in 7th.

The Good Life11 was the next player eliminated. CoolJohN22222 raised to 122,899 and both cataron and The Good Life11 called. On a flop of Ac-7c-9d, action was checked to The Good Life11, who bet 222,000. CooLJohN22222 then raised all-in for 1.2 Million. Cataron got out of the way and The Good Life11 made the call. CoolJohN22222 held As-7d for two pair and The Good Life11 held Ah-Kc for top pair only. The turn and river both fell babies, and The Good Life11 finished in 6th.

A few hands later, want2bedomnated raised to 200,000 and was called by colsha. On a flop of Qs-9s-8h, colsha shoved with Ah-8d and was called by want2bedomnated with pocket jack. The turn and river both fell blanks and colsha finished in 5th.

A deal was discussed briefly, but AmazingMiss did not like the terms as he would only get $10,000 more. Although he was the short stack, he felt he deserved more. A couple of hands later, he doubled up and then “wanted to deal.” After a while, the players agreed to an even chop of the prize money, although AmazingMiss had half the chips. It is unknown whether the players really needed the money or what, but this was one horrible deal.

The last $9,000 was to be played out via winner takes all. With only the winner receiving any money, players started taking stupid risks. Want2bedomnated was the one dominating CooLJohN22222 as he decided to shove with K-J. Want2bedomnated held As-Kh. A flush draw came by the turn but want2bedomnated had the best of that too. CooLJohN22222 finished in 4th place.
A few hands later, want2bedomnated revealed a little information that may have been a bit of a clue why he accepted such a bad deal. He revealed that he had made a $50 deposit just two weeks prior. Knowing that information, this is a helluva return on his initial investment, even if it is a very poor deal.

On a flop of 6c-5s-3s, cataron moved all-in with 7c-8c and was behind to the Ks-Qc of want2bedomnated. The turn gave cataron a flush draw as well but the river 3d sent him home in 3rd place with no additional money.

The final hand of the event saw AmazingMiss move all-in with pocket kings against the Ah-2c of want2bedomnated. A deuce hit both the flop and the river and with that suckout, want2bedomnated wins the Full Tilt Sunday 750k.

After receiving the prize money for winner takes all, want2bedomnated took home $89,229.08. While that is a great return on his initial $50 deposit, one wonders whether he should have given up the $50,000 in order to appease AmazingMiss. Regardless, want2bedomnated played a fantastic tournament and deserved the win. Congratulations.

jason jiang 1,005,747

The very first hand of the final table, juanmoretime raised to 147,000 and FarSeerCantDie moved all-in for 966,148. Juanmoretime called for 819,208 total and was behind with As-Qc to pocket kings for FarSeerCantDie. An ace did not come on the board and juanmoretime finished in 9th.

ILIKEPONIES shoved all-in for 741,277 after a raise to 100,000 from FarSeerCantDie. FarSeerCantDie made the call and again had pocket kings against Ad-Qd. A queen hit the board, but no further help came and ILIKEPONIES finished in 8th.

On a board of 3s-6h-5d-7d, a raising war occurred between Chances Cards and jason jiang. Eventually, jason jiang was all-in with 10d-8s and needed help against the Ad-4s of Chances Cards. The river fell the Jc to send jason jiang home in 7th.

Chances Cards lost a huge pot to finish in 6th. On a board of Ad-Qc-4c-2s, Chances Cards bet 499,999 and CThib raised to 2,996,718, enough to put Chances Cards all in. He called and showed pocket fours for a set of fours. CThib showed Jc-10 for a flush draw and straight draw. The river fell a disaster for Chances Cards as it came the 5c to give CThib the pot and a 5.274 Million pot.

Pececillo was all-in pre-flop for 793,168 and called by CThib. CThib held pocket eights against As-Qh. The board fell ten-high and Pececillo finished in 5th.

Littlebugga min-raised to 120,000 pre-flop before FarSeerCantDie moved all-in for 2.079 Million. HAAydon then re-shoved for 3.11 Million. FarSeerCantDie was making a move with As-8d but ran into pocket aces. FarSeerCantDie flopped two pair, but unfortunately that mean hAAydon flopped top set. The turn 6d left FarSeerCantDie drawing dead and eliminated in 4th.

The very next hand, littlebugga shoved with Qh-Js and CThib called with Ad-10s. The flop gave CThib a straight draw but the turn Qd gave littlebugga top pair. Unfortunately for him, the river fell the Ac to give CThib the win and send littlebugga home in 3rd.

A deal was discussed between hAAydon and CThib but terms could not be reached as hAAydon wanted at least $120,000. He got what he wanted and more. At the river of the final hand, the pot sat at 1.275 Million with a board of Kc-9c-2s-Kh-4s and CThib bet out 990,000. HAAydon raised 3.66 Million to put CThib all-in. CThib called and hAAydon showed Ks-Js for trip kings and CThib muck. CThib finished in 2nd and took home $140,152.78.

HAAydon started the final table at the middle of the pack and stayed pretty much around his starting stack until we were down to four players. At that point, he was able to double up and become a factor in the game. A big pot between him and FarSeerCantDie gave him the chip lead and he never really dropped below 5 Million chips for the rest of the game. He caught a couple of big hands afterwards and was able to walk away with the $140,152.78 top prize.

Congratulations to hAAydon, the Full Tilt $750k champion.

The Full Tilt red pros were out in force today with Johan Brolenius finishing as the high man on the totem pole in 121st. Berry Johnston finished in 126th. Mich_alumni took a sizable chip lead into the final table with nearly 5 Million chips. The next closest was only at 2.2 Million.

Zsunset 524,116

ypma 1,729,984

clotilda 1,764,442

mich_alumni 4,949,117

quivan96 151,860

kenneoin 944,057

ADCampbell 2,224,032

PatrickJ89 21,475

shhhant 122,917

PatrickJ89 was the first player eliminated. He called a pre-flop raise from zsunset and was all-in with Qc-2s against the Ah-Jh of zsunset. The hand was all but over on the flop as zsunset flopped a straight. PatrickJ89 had a chance for a chop when a jack fell on the turn, but the river 4h sealed his fate and sent him home in 9th place.

Shhhant did not believe ADCampbell when he moved all-in for 4.6 Million from the button Shhhant had only 267k and ran with Ad-5h against ADCampbell’s pocket threes. The three’s held and Shhhant won’t be winning this one, as he is eliminated in 8th.

Quivan96 shoved pre-flop with pocket 10’s and was called by ADCampbell with pocket kings. A ten did not hit the board, and Quivan96 finished in 7th.

Kenneoin open shoved from the cutoff with As-Qh and was called by clotilda with pocket sixes. The sixes held and kenneoin finished in 6th.

The very next hand, ADCampbell raised from the cutoff enough to put zsunset all-in. Zsunset made the call with Kc-Jc and was dominated by ADCampbell’s Ac-Jd. ADCampbell flopped trips and avoided a broadway draw to send zsunset to the rail in 5th.

A deal was hammered out by the four remaining players. A deal was made between the remaining players and $10,000 was left on top for winner take all.

Ypma raised from the small blind enough to put clotilda all-in and clotilda called with As-4d. He was ahead of the Ks-10d of ypma. The flop brought a king and the turn a 10 to eliminate clotilda in 4th.

Mich_alumni was our third place finisher. After making a sizable bet on the flop, mich_alumni moved all-in for 2.5 Million on a board of 9c-2s-6h-3c. Ypma made the call. Mich_alumni held pocket kings and was drawing dead when ypma flipped over 4s-5s. The river 7s just rubbed the salt in the wound of our third place finisher.

The final hand of the event saw all the chip go in pre-flop with ADCampbell holding pocket sevens against the pocket fives of ypma. The board missed both players and ADCampbell is the champion.

After the deal, here are how the final four players finished:

ADCampbell $104,929.51

Ypma $62,660

mich_alumni $98,967

clotilda $72,000
