Full Tilt Online Poker Series VIII

Final table, Lindgren out 13th.

Ok, 2 events running right now. Firstly a $500 NLHE Shootout, all the FTPros are gone.

Event 9 is a big one - $1.5m GTD NLHE $300 buy in. 1st prize is over $250k, and anyone who's anyone is in. Only 30 mins gone but already out are Vaswani, Fischman and Lindgren. There's over 5000 entrants, and it seems it's going to be played in one go. Could be a late one.

It's on Full Tilt.

They're now (after nearly 13 hours) down to the last 5 (all guaranteed between $60k and $263k). The chipleader has nearly 1/2 the chips in play. Allen Cunningham was the highest placed FTPro in 178th.

Final hand (cash difference of $100k between 1st and 2nd) was a pre flop all in between A9 and K9, with no help for either on the board.

13 hours for lousy $263K?

[Hippy Dave]

, yeah hardly worth playing is it.

Event 10 is a $200 PL Omaha Hi/Lo, 195 players left (Mike Matusow the only FTPro left), only a $51k first prize this one.

Event 11 is going to be another all nighter, a $1000 NLHE. $1.5m Gtd, 1st prize currently over $300k

Lost track of this a little, but Event 21 has just got underway, the biggest buy-in of the lotl, $2.5k NLHE, 2 day event, 899 entrants.

Over $500k to the winner.

Very slow going, with 30 minutes blinds, and 5000 starting chips (ie not a true lol donkament). Apparently they play 17 levels today, or down to 2 tables, whichever is first.

I notice Mafews is playing in this, which reminds me of a great quote from him in some online interview I read a couple of years ago.

"I love poker and I like the money. I like winning. I like beating people, I like out thinking people, I like calling people fish. I think it’s pretty sweet."

Down to the last 14 now, Erich Kollmann still going strong.
