elheroe Conquers Competition in FTOPS VIII NLHE Knockout
Roland de Wolfe joined the fray in the $216 NL Hold'em 6-handed Knockout. The Brit, who was the first person to win hold both a WPT and EPT title, was just one of 3,149 players in the event. The tournament did attract a plethora of pros, both online and offline. They all wanted a piece of the $500,000 pie. However, only David "The Dragon" Pham collected some cash amongst the Full Tilt Poker crew. His 235th place finish netted $346.39, mere chump change for this multi-millionaire rounder.
TheAsianVampire, who took third at the FTP Sunday $750k on May 4, 2008 , finished in the money as did online fixtures such as colonel decker, JohnyCashOut2 and Roothlus. In the end, it was elheroe who took the title. He defeated Panamatony in heads-up play, earning nearly $125,000 in the process.
These are the final standings:
1) elheroe - $124,020.22 2) Panamatony - $78,221.16 3) MrGreaseFire - $53,658.96 4) I R Teh Donk - $40,937.00 5) TheAdam8 - $28,970.80 6) princetendee - $19,523.80
