Leah’s first FTOPS title came in 2010, when he won a $200 buy-in event for $92,000. You’ll recall his third place finish in the 2011 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker Main Event was officially worth nearly $700,000 and he has final tabled a plethora of other FTOPS tournaments throughout his career. He is up to $2 million in tracked online poker MTT cashes, over $1.3 million of which has come on PokerStars, the industry’s largest site.

Also making a deep run in the Razz event was former #1 player p0cket00, who took seventh place for $1,900. He won the PartyPokerHigh Roller last weekend for $27,000 and took down three MTTs on December 6 alone for over $35,000 total, one of which was for an FTOPS title against Chris moorman1Moorman. Read about that battle.

The second tournament to take place on Thursday during FTOPS XXI was a $109 No Limit Hold’em contest that attracted a field of 1,464 players. A three-way chop served as the climax of the tournament, with Wilmy_x taking away $22,000, the largest payout. Second place belonged to Mefestofel, while third place belonged to Ontario pokercommunity member Michael MFerg Fergenbaum. The latter two collected $20,000 apiece.
