The final prize pool was $764,200 eliminating the need for the guarantee and 522 places paid with first place claiming $135,301.61.

The second surprise was seeing a Full Tilt Pro navigate his way through the huge field and end up at the final table. There were many entered in the event, Lee Watkinson finished 363rd, David Benyamine finished 324th, Keith Sexton finished 90th and Ram Vaswani finished 230th. It was former world series of poker champion Huckleberry Seed though that made it all the way to the final 9.

Though crippled when his pair of nines ran into aces, Huckleberry was not the first to leave the final table. That honor went to Tarsis, who limped with a pair of fours and three callers went to the flop. The flop brought two of the same suited cards and Tarsis’s set. He pushed all in only to be called by the flush draw that not only hit on the turn but again on the river.

Huckleberry Seed, short stacked from a previous hand was next to push. He was called by Smackgirl (who had the aces last time) and then re-raised all in by sunfish2. Smackgirl gets out the way and Seed’s K4 was heads up against A9. A flopped ace sent Huckleberry to the rail in eighth.

Some have reported that two suspect bot accounts were JapintheSack and BeatMe1 yet no one from Full Tilt has officially confirmed these accusations. For all the accounts that are suspected, Full Tilt Poker has frozen their accounts as well as seized all the money that was within those accounts.

There have been complaints from players about bots on Full Tilt for some time now and officially Full Tilt has denied these claims repeatedly. The number of poker players affected by this problem is estimated to be in the thousands but Full Tilt Poker has made no official announcement as of yet.

This is nothing new for online gambling and the industry. MSNBC did a story about bots and poker in 2004 written by Mike Brunker claiming it would be a significant problem for online poker to tackle, another report released in 2006 by Party Poker addressed bots and what their online poker site was doing to combat the problem.

Full Tilt Poker is not the only online poker site suspected to have problems with bots but they are the one that first this moment, caught them and are dealing with the issue.

Many top pros played in the event but they failed to have a significant impact. JJ Liu finished in 259thplace followed by Aaron Bartley in 191st and then Huck Seed with the highest finish in 142nd place.

The final table was still in it’s early stages when the first player exited after Richisnic who had a Jd Ts when all in against Lucky1223 Ah Ad. The board was Ac, Qc ,As, Kh, 5s. Richisnic’s straight was well beaten by the quad Aces of his oppoenent and he went out in 9th place and a prize of $15,596. Menah_menah_ would go out next followed by cashious, jalla79, TenthPlanet, Fishbones11, and BIGFLOPPER01. The final two left at the table were Lucky1223 and JCarver.

Heads up lasted about 15 minutes before a winner was decided. On the last hand JCarver made a raise and Lucky1223 moved all in. JCarver had Kh Jd while Lucky1223 had Kd Th and following a board of Kc, 2d, 3s, Qc and Ad , JCarver won the tournament.

In the chip lead as the final table began was TAHUR5, second in chiplead, for a moment, was NCSUBODOG who was also the first to make his way from the final table to the rail with a few thousand dollars and a bad beat story to tell to anyone who will listen.

NCSUBODOG was dealt the prettiest hand in poker, a couple of aces, and had Martine23’s cowboys completely dominated, until … The river. The king of clubs was dealt and NCSUBODOG went from second in chip lead, to seriously in need of help. He went out fighting though, getting his chips into the middle with an unsuited Ace Queen. Spirit619 made the call, with Pocket Queens, leaving NCSUBODOG in need of a ace which didn’t arrive and he finished 9th place in the tournament, and a $10,141.12 prize.

In the next big hand southside1 got all his chips in the middle which As and Jh and found himself with two callers. Sugar D had King-seven of hearts, and spirit619 held a pair of sixes. The sixes hit the flop to make trips and the rest of the hand was history. Southside1 left the tournament in 8th winning $13,622.40.

Not long after, Martine23 pushed in with pocket tens, SlmPickens made the call, and busted the Pocket Pair with a flush. Martine23 finished the game in 7th place.

A few minutes later, SlmPickens was up against tens again. In this hand Slm held Ad 4c and was all in, spirit619 called with pocket tens, and Sugar D followed suit, pushing in his own chips with a pair of sixes. The tens held up, spirit619 took out two players in one shot.

Pokachump, TAHUR5 and spirit619 were the final trio of poker players. Three soon became two though, as pokachump knocked out spirit619 in 3rd. Pokachump and TAHUR5 began their heads up battle which waged for nearly twenty minutes, pokachump had the lead, TAHUR5 took it over, then pokachump took it back and so on. Then, the game rather took care of itself.

TAHUR5 flopped 2 pair, pokachump flopped the nut straight. The all in bet was made, it was called, TAHUR5 was behind, and got no help. Pokachump took down a $133,991.44 prize along with first place.
