Highway robbery at FTOPS ME FT!

This was a whopper of a main event for the latest installment of the FTOPs. The final table deal went down early this morning, and from the looks of it, someone made out like a bandit. I believe Blur is Blair Hinkle, and a pretty good thing he had multi entered (6 Entries) this tournament. 1.1 Million ROI on his 6 entries is pretty damn good, especially given how he made out on the deal. At the time of the deal, the chip counts were roughly:

60m (Blur)
30m (Giampp)
16m (SirMad)

The deal was..

1.145m (Blur)
830k (Giampp)
805k (SirMad)

About 65k left to play for. With Giampp winning the ME, he banked less than 2nd would have been pre-deal. Sirmad would have got 620k ish for 3rd pre-deal.

One thing of note which was interesting, is that Giampp only had one entry in the tournament. I might be wrong, but he may be the first, non-multi entry player to win a big buy-in multi-entry tourny, since Fulltilt started these a month or so ago. Nevertheless, the MultiEntry format definitely benefits the elite players, and as long as they continue, winner's like Giampp will be far and few between. Of the 9 players at the final table, only Giampp and beerocrat had single entries, all the rest had multi's, with the majority holding 6 entries!
