I just won a $8.80 36 player sng to ftops #1. This is the full tilt online poker series $216 buyin tonight at 6pm or 21:00 server time A million dollar guarantee so they would need 4629 players to cover that. Right now there are 2913 registered including many red pros. Howard Lederer is the "host" of this event.

I did 5 8.80 36 player sng satellites finishing 34th, 19th, 10th, 3rd and 1st. Honestly, in that order I improved every time 3rd place paid 21.60

I also did a $11 rebuy satellite to it so I lost 21 bucks there. Then I did a regularly scheduled $8.80 tourney to event #1 that had 322 entrants. It paid 11 seats and I came in 13TH for a $60 cash.

So I paid 73.80 and came out with a 216 entry and 73.60 in cash. I'm very proud and hope I can bust a red pro and get my buyin back and I hope to cash in the event.

Very nice joe. That's fantastic, hope you go deep. I'll get ur game up and check in now and then, and when you get REAL deep, be sure to post rail request so we can all rep you and CC for final table

1,000,000 guarantee but tilt gets 16 bucks from each buyin so they need 5000 players to match the guarantee and wouldn't you know it, they are coming closer to 5,000 with 4747 now registered

Doing horrible at 1st break. Start with 5k and I got 4040 and I'm in 4254 out of 5523 remaining. 6275 entered and top 738 payout

I'm railing ya Joe, back over 4k, gj.

I was up to 6300 and bluffed it off back to starting stack

Out 4318th as I never got above the starting stack Final hand is a big 3way showdown for 1800 each with bb at 160 and I got QQ villain has acekingsuited and bluffs the 3rd one out of the dry sidepot on an 8high flop. A king comes on turn to destroy my hopes

Sorry man

I worked up to about 8k, and then got a table change so have to start over with reads. At Diego Cordovez table and some former ftops winner. Have blinded down to about 7300 or so.

Thats a shame. Great experience though huh?

It just ended, I watched it from the final three tables and it was a pretty good game. Heads Up was something.
