FTOPS XI Event #22, $5,000+200 NL Hold'em 'High Rollers' Day 1: 'makspak' Leads 0001

Event #22 of the eleventh Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS XI), $5,000+200 NL Hold'em "high rollers", delivered a huge $2,000,000 guarantee and attracted the best of the online world. Just as in FTOPS X, 500 players registered for the two-day event, with first place kicked up to $625,000 this time around. Registration stayed open for a little while after the tournament began, but within a few minutes a big name hit the rail �� Steve Zolotow did not survive the first orbit. In fact, no Full Tilt "red pro" reached the money which started at 54th place. Day 1 ended after 17 levels with just 50 players remaining. Among those making the money but not surviving the day were Yevgeniy "bballer88" Timoshenko in 53rd ($7,500) and Corey "Comandr_Cool" Burbick in 54th ($7,500).

Leading the way into Day 2 will be makspak, with a stack of 216,993. Hot on his heels are many other stars, including Jon "TwistedEcho" Heath in fourth with 149,149, Jamie "pokerjamers" Armstrong in sixth with 126,573, Steve "gboro780" Gross in seventh with 105,371 and Kevin "Wu_Wizard" MacPhee in eighth with 96,160. Others still in the field include Jim "WinnerFish" Kilarjian, Chris "Genius28" Lee, Bahbak "bigredAK" Oboodi, Gordon "holla-athca-boy" Vayo, Ty "GimmeDa1time" Reiman, Michiel "utreg" Brummelhuis, Alex "Kadabra" Keating, Alexander "PostflopAction" Kostritstyn, Jeff "ActionJeff" Garza, Craig "HU4ROLLZ" Bergeron, Marco "CrazyMarco" Johnson, Jamie "LeoEleven" Rosen, Yeshaya, Scott "ScTrojans08" Freeman, James "TheFatFISH" Obst (down to 440 chips at one point), Stian "JohnnyBelow" Stabell, Adam "Roothlus" Levy, Jeff "YoungSupremacy" Hakim, Halfrek, Anthony "holdplz" Spinella, Keven "Stamdogg" Stammen, Shawn "jordankickz" Busse and Shaun "tedsfishfry" Deeb as the short stack.

The tournament continues at 2:00 pm ET on Full Tilt. Blinds and antes will be at the 600/1,200/150 level when action resumes.
