FTOPS: 313OG Wins Event #6; JC Alavardo Takes 4th


Author: LA Mike Tournament: FTOPS
Published on: 05:06:51 on Aug 13, 2007

At 3:25am EDT, the final 9 players took their seats at the final table.  At least one player, the gentleman in the nine seat, was very recognizable.  He was PrtyPsux, otherwise known as JC Alvarado in the real world.  Alvarado has had plenty of "live" success as well.  He had a great run at the beginning of the year at the LA Poker Classic.  He was the runner-up in the 2.5k event and made a really deep run in the 10k main event.  He made the WPT TV table out in Reno, Nevada where he ended up as the runner-up for almost 367k.  JC finished the FTOPS event in 4th place, collecting $72,138 for his work.

Serefecheers hit the rail very quickly after Alvarado in third place.  He collected $91,812 for his effort today.  As heads-up play began, 313OG had a huge chip lead over akaginsf.  313OG ended the match in a timely fashion at 4:33am EDT to pickup the $231,615 first prize.  Akaginsf collected $140,210 for the runner-up finish. 

 

The final table payouts were:

  1. 313OG-- $231,615.44
  2. akaginsf-- $140,210.04
  3. serefecheers-- $91,812
  4. PrtyPsux-- $72,138
