John D'Agostino cashes in FTOPS V Event 9

By Arthur Crowson

John D'Agostino has some serious bragging rights. He made it farther in his own tournament than any of the other Full Tilt pros thus far in the FTOPS V.

FTOPS V Event 9 $300+$22 No-Limit Hold'em 6 Max Re-buys featured 1,333 entrants along with a massive $1 million dollar prize pool meaning there were plenty of re-buys. mattyv vanquished all challengers and took home $209,792 and a nifty gold avatar.

"J-Dags" made a serious run at first place but busted out 30th winning $4,527 in the process. He wasn't the only pro to go deep either. Event 9 was full of pros like 2006 WSOP Main Event runner-up Paul Wasicka who outdid D'Agostino by several places, coming in 27th, but earned the same amount of money.

Erick Lindgren just made the money coming in 114th place for $1,509. Steve Brecher came in 45th earning $2,716 while famed Internet player Imper1um busted out 66th grabbing $2,314.

The real winner was of course mattyv who beat johnnypoker69 in heads up play. Next up for the FTOPS V is Event 10 $200+$16 7 Stud with host Keith Sexton. That event kicks off today with a guaranteed $100,000 prize pool.

The complete final table results for Event 8 are as follows:

1. mattyv $209,792
2. johnnypoker69 $139,861
3. readmyline $99,613
4. BLAKE39 $74,458
