FTOPS VII: Clements' event goes to ilikeaces86

No luck for Clements this time.

The third $1 million guaranteed event of the Full Tilt Online Poker Series VII played out on Wednesday with Scott Clements at the helm as host. Though Clements made a good showing in the event, it was ilikeaces86 who rose to the top for the first-place finish.

This was the 12th event of the Full Tilt Poker series, and it saw 1,361 players ante up the $300+$22 buy-in. That boosted the $1 million guaranteed prize pool up to $1,287,300, giving ilikeaces86 a $257,460 first-place payout.

Scott Clements did try to replicate Erick Lindgren's feat of winning his own event. He put on a good show, making it to 171st place to just barely make it into the money, which began at 174th place.

Mike Matusow also showed what the pros are made of in this event. He cashed in 369th place in Event 9, and improved to 150th in Wednesday's No-Limit Hold'em six-max with re-buys.

Of the pros that cashed, it was Lindgren making the strongest showing once again. He finished in 38th place.
