Full Tilt Poker Outage; Mirror Wins At FTOPS IX Events 14 & 15

The Full Tilt Poker online tournament ledger is looking a little confusing this morning as a great number of tournaments were canceled yesterday. However, FTOPS IX Events #14 and #15 were not among the removals. It would seem every tournament from 11:35am to 3:15pm was voided, as well as a few earlier in the morning.

This caused a notable change in the FTOPS IX schedule in order to keep everything on track. Events #14 and #15 were played out as planned, both starting at 9pm last night, while Event #13 – $216 PL H.A., $200k GTD – was postponed until tomorrow, August 14th at 3:30pm. A good number of FTOPS IX Satellites were also canceled.

It’s not exactly clear what caused the significant downtime at Full Tilt Poker yesterday, but upon loading up the software this morning, I was immediately met with a “software update” ready to install. Let’s hope the issue has been resolved.

With that perplexing point of interest out of the way, let’s move on to the real news – the winners of Full Tilt Online Poker Series Events #14 and #15.

FTOPS IX Event #14 – $535 Limit H.O.R.S.E., $300k GTD
WSOP Bracelet winner, Full Tilt Pro and event host Jens Voertmann oversaw the field of 655 entrants that jumped the prize pool to $327,500 yesterday as the participants took their virtual seats at Full Tilt Poker. Opening hands were dealt at 9pm and continued for the next 9 hours.

As the final table came, massive chip stacks moved quickly around as the fanciful skills of ‘yuvee04’ ran the table. One by one, players were sent to the rails until only two remained – ‘yuvee04’ and ‘spadez67’. It simply wasn’t ‘spadez67’s night as ‘yuvee04’s run continued to the very end.

The 1st place victory was worth $70,412 to ‘yuvee04’, while ‘spadez67’ earned a healthy $48,470 for the 2nd place finish.

FTOPS IX Event #15 – $216 NL Hold’em Turbo, $500k GTD
Just as some of Sunday and Monday’s FTOPS IX events, #15 saw a minimal overlay as the field of 2,472 was just a few players shy of covering the $500k GP. Hosted by Full Tilt Pro Michael Craig – writer, editor and author of ‘The Full Tilt Poker Blog’ – this event played out much the same as its predecessor, with the exception of speed; as is the nature of Turbo style tournaments.

Playing both Events #14 and #15 simultaneously, ‘yuvee04’ continued to run the tables. The field quickly dwindled as ‘yuvee04’ continued a reign of skilled poker play that lasted straight to the end. The 1st place triumph earned ‘yuvee04’ another $101,975 as 2nd place, worth $66,000, went to ‘ANIMAL5050’.
