FTOPS XXII Day 3: "Vampyboy" Tops Star-Studded Final Table in Event #8
The 22nd installment of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series continued Tuesday with three more tournaments from the 38-event schedule: Event #6 $216 PL Omaha Hi/Lo 6-Max ; Event #7 $322 Razz; and Event #8 $216 NL Hold'em Rush Turbo.
Each event eclipsed its guaranteed prize pool as more than $335,000 was awarded across the three tournaments. The biggest winner of the day was "Vampyboy," who defeated a tough final table in Event #8 to scoop a $41,400 top prize. "PimpDaddyDolla" (Event #6) and "motion713" (Event #8) also won FTOPS jerseys on Tuesday.
With eight events already in the books, Germany's "keinebeine" has a comfortable lead in the FTOPS XXII Leader Board. The German has 346 points, most of which came from winning Event #4 on Monday for $131,298. His closest competitor in the standings is Event #1 champ Tom "hitthehole" Middleton with 261 points. Also in the top 10 are Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen (7th - 207 points) and Brandon "norajean" Meyers (8th - 205 points). The leaderboard winner will receive a custom Full Tilt Poker avatar and an FTOPS XXIII event package worth $11,000.
