Online Player “Halfrek” Wins Two FTOPS VIII Events.
Online poker player “Halfrek” has had a really great week. Not only did “Halfrek” win one FTOPS event last week - but he also managed to win another FTOPS event this past Sunday. It is believed that this is the first time that a player has won more than one event in the same FTOPS series. And to do it on a poker site known to feature the top MTT players around the globe is even more impressive. Both events were high buy-ins and will most definitely make a huge difference in “Halfrek’s” life, especially financially!
The first event “Halfrek” won was Event #11 which had 1,593 players and a buy-in of $1,000 + $60. The guaranteed prize pool was $1,500,000 but due to the amount of players that bought in the prize pool rose to $1,593,000. “Halfrek” took home $342,495.00 for his first place finish.
The second event “Halfrek” won was event #21 which took place on Sunday. 899 players entered the event with a buy-in of $2,500 + 120. The guaranteed prize pool was supposed to be $1.5 million but with the large amount of players entered the prize pool raised almost $1million to a whooping $2,247,500. “Halfrek” took home $516,925.00 for his first place finish which made his prize total for the week almost $900,000, an amazing payday for anyone, much less a lesser known online player.
I am sure we will be hearing more about “Halfrek” in the very near future, especially on the online poker tournament scene.
