3,007 players took to the virtual felt in the $256 buy-in NLHE 6-max Knockout event hosted by Roy “The Oracle” Winston on Sunday August 10th, 2008. The tournament, which began at 14.30 ET, had a half a million dollar guarantee. However, the total prize pool generated was well over $600,000. Full Tilt’s own Thomas Wahlroos made it to the final table in this event.

Wahlroos, a native of Helsinki, Finland, didn’t spend much time at the final table. His sixth place finish was the best for any Full Tilt pro so far in the FTOPS IX. He earned more than $19,077 for his efforts, mere chump change for this professional poker player who also likes to snow board and skydive.

G de Ipanema, a previous FTOPS winner, Event #15 (November 18, 2007), finished fourth in this tournament, adding more than $40,000 to his lifetime tournament earnings. However, in the end, ryanbluf and luccin x remained to battle over the top prize of $121,184.57.  ryanbluf won the day and the six-figure pay.

These are the final table facts, y’all:

1) ryanbluf - $121,184.57
2) luccin x - $76,432.68
3) miserd00d - $52,432.08
4) G de Ipanema - $40,001
5) TheMasterJ33 - $28,308.40
6) Thomas Wahlroos - $19,077.40

Join Peter Feldman at 21.00 ET on Wednesday August 13th, 2008 for the Million Dollar GTD NLHE 6-Max Re-Buy. Qualifiers are going on now at Full Tilt Poker!
