JohnnyBax picks up FTOPS X win

JohnnyBax has a winning hand at Full Tilt Poker.

By Sarah Polson

On Tuesday and Wednesday, five more players climbed to the top of Full Tilt Online Poker Series X events. Some pros made deep inroads into events on Wednesday, with JohnnyBax even claiming the top pot in an event.

JohnnyBax, also known as Cliff Josephy to those outside the online poker realm, picked up a win in Event 8 of the Full Tilt Poker series. He defeated a playing field of 1,025 people, who were all looking for a piece of the $205,000 prize pool.

Josephy had some hefty competition at the final table. Full Tilt Poker pro Ram Vaswani was among the battlers in this Omaha Eight-or-Better event and cashed in fourth place. Also among the cashers were Chip Jett and Stuart Paterson.

In the second event hosted by the poker site on Wednesday for the FTOPS X, David Pham proved why he's becoming a big name in the game these days. The No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max event drew in 1,032 players to vie for a $1,130,100 prize pool, and Pham picked up a three-figure part of that prize pool by coming in third place.

Other pros in the money include Nordberg, Jeff Madsen, Huck Seed, Stuart Paterson, Clonie Gowen, TheWacoKidd and PearlJammed. The winner was frankly perfect, who picked up $235,625.85 for first place.

The winners from Tuesday were losebigpots in Event 12, the $200+$16 HA; LaTanyaWilliams in Event 13, $500+$35 H.O.R.S.E.; and imabigkidnow in Event 14, $200+$26 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo.
