The $5,000 + $200 Six Handed No Limit Hold’em event concluded late yesterday, capping a great run for the Full Tilt Online Poker Series X. The unique event, which forgoes the standard nine-handed tables in favor of smaller, more action-oriented six-handed table, attracted 500 players and created a $2.5 million dollar prize pool.
Hosted by Craig Marquis, who had quite the exchange with Tiffany Michelle at the 2008 WSOP. Was sporting his new “Red Pro” status as a new Team Full Tilt member and fresh off his big win the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event cash, the tournament ran deep into the night before a victor was finally declared. After surviving a tough field of players including Marquis, who placed 24th and cashed for $17,500, the ultimate winner was Amit “amak316″ Makjiha. Amit has had success in both online and brick and mortar tournaments having ran deep in several live events. His last big score was coming in second at the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker event in 2007, cashing for $560,000.
His victory in the FTOPS X finale almost matched his biggest win to date as he took home exactly $550,000.
