Thursday, Feb 5, 2009 Lucky muckducks Wins FTOPS XI Event 1

The heads-up match for the FTOPS XI Event 1 title between Canadian player "muckducks" and American "sticky seat" was both long and tough. The chip lead shifted back and forth but finally muckducks got a lucky break and seal the deal.

In the final hand of the $200 + $16 No-Limit Hold'em tournament, sticky seat raised before the flop and muckducks response was to move all-in. sticky seat called and was in good shape with As-Kc against Jd-Td.

Things turned around quickly, however, as the flopp came 8d-9c-Qc, giving muckducks the nut-straight and leaving sticky seat hoping for a miracle. When Qs fell on the turn it was all over.

As we understand it no deal was made between the two, and thus muckducks walked away with the $216,512 first prize. sticky seat received $137,147 for second place.
