2010 August 15 Poker News, Events and Happenings
Mike “chapmoney” Chappus was the first player to win two tournaments during the 17th installment of the Full Tilt Poker Online Poker Series (FTOPS) this week. Chappus, who won Event #3 ($300 Six-Handed Turbo No Limit Hold’em Shootout), followed it up with a victory in Event #24, a $200 No Limit Hold’em Cashout on August 12th. Chappus banked nearly $50,000 and claimed his second FTOPS XVII title.
On Saturday night, the Full Tilt Poker Doubles Championship premiered on GSN, taking the place of the Aussie Millions, whose Main Event wrapped up last weekend. A $1 million first place prize is up for grabs in the Doubles Championship and 32 players coughed up $50,000 each to enter. The unique show was taped at the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas and featured Brandon Adams and David Tuchman on the call.
You’ve made it through the entire week. Maybe you were a little busy with the FTOPS or just crushing your home game and couldn’t get caught up on all the news that happened this week, like the World Poker Tour announcing a stop in the Sunshine…
Just weeks removed from a high-profile ATV mishap, Phil Laak and his online poker site, Unabomber Poker, will host a special Unabomber Bounty Freeroll on August 31st. As its name implies, the player who knocks out Laak from his very own tournament takes home a prize, an autographed Unabomber hoodie.
