Online Poker: Full Tilt’s $750K Guaranteed Goes to “clotilda”

When the field 3,818 players in Full Tilt Poker’s $750,000 Guaranteed tournament had dwindled down to 28 players, “Viablo2” was in complete control. As the only player above 1 Million in chips Viablo2 actually had better than double the stack of his nearest competitor.

As the final table approached Viablo2 was no longer in the chip lead but had a top three stack and was by no means out of it. The roller coaster final table however would be somewhat unkind to Viablo2 as “clotilda” came out on top and captured the $135,195.38 first place money.

“serbie” would put himself into the chip lead after coming out on top of the first elimination of the final table. On a board reading Ks10sJc “Cuzzinlaw” pushed all-in holding Qs10h only to be called by serbie’s KhQc. Neither the turn nor river completed Cuzzinlaw’s straight or trips and he was out in 9th spot.

“MattEMenz” would send the next player packing with a pre-flop all in race situation. MattEMenz held AhQd against the 5c5h of Kr sunshine. The Qc on the flop sealed the fate of "Kr sunshine" and moved MattEMenz to near the top of the chip counts.

Viablo2 would keep his momentum going with yet another elimination. “RoothlusJr” pushed his remaining stack in holding Ah6h and Viablo2 was all too happy to make the call holding AdKc. When the flop included the Ks Viablo2 had yet another scalp and an even larger chip stack.

A speed bump was on the horizon though and while “Cocio2680” was doing his best to simply stay alive Viablo2 and clotilda got involved in a huge pot. Continuing his aggressive play Viablo2 re-raised all-in holding AcQh; clotilda quickly called and showed his dominating AsKh. The flop brought no dramatic relief and Viablo2 had doubled up clotilda. Only a few hands later though the two would tangle again.

This time it was Viablo2 holding big slick and having his all-in called by clotilda who held A9. Despite losing some chips clotilda was still the chip leader at this point while Viablo2 found himself back in contention.

One player who wasn’t in contention was the short-stacked Cocio2680. He would finally find the rail in sixth when serbie called his pre-flop all in holding 8h8d. The 8c on the flop eliminated Cocio2680's chances of having his Ad9c win the coin flip.

Five-handed play produced a new chip leader as MattEMenz finally found himself with the big stack after taking a pot off of Viablo2. But that chip lead would prove to be short lived as Viablo2 became the first player over 4 Million in chips after rivering two pair with Ac8c against the pocket nines of “emzewart”.

Busting in fifth was serbie who found himself in bad shape with KhQc against the AdQh of emzewart. When the board brought an ace it meant serbie was eliminated. Cruising along at this point a bad beat was just around the corner for emzewart.

Both emzewart and MattEMenz got their chips in pre-flop and turned over nearly identical hands. MattEMenz held AdJh while emzewart held AhJs. The board brought four diamonds giving MattEMenz the nut flush and the chip lead three handed. Viablo2 would eliminate emzewart on the very next hand.

When heads-up play began Viablo2 was where he was nearly three hours earlier, the chip lead; Viablo2 held 7,331,456 chips while clotilda held 4,122,544. In a short heads-up session clotilda clawed back to even up the chip counts and eventually took the lead. The end would come when Viablo2 re-raised all in with As4s and clotilda called holding 3c3d. The board produced no ace and no four and clotilda had won the Full Tilt Poker $750,000 Guaranteed.

The highest finishing Full Tilt "red" pro was Roland de Wolfe who actually bubbled the final table in 10th for 7,330.56. Lee Watkinson also had a strong showing coming in 15th for $5,421.56.
