As a result, seven players emerged with six-figure scores. The biggest went to Kyle "KJulius10" Julius. Even though he did not win the $1 Million Guarantee, a four-handed deal awarded him a $163,222.52 pay day. Notching the victory was justgobroke for just over $150,000. The MiniFTOPS Main Event lured a massive field of 15,527 and emerging at the top was online poker stud Grayson "The_Dean221" Nichols, winning $152,086.69 for his efforts.
