Full Tilt Poker’s FTOPS VII came to a close early this morning with a winner being crowned in the $535 main event, which had nearly 5,300 people registered. FTP member “Reverse” won the title by beating FTP pro Thomas Wahlroos heads up in the finale.
Reverse’s biggest cash previously on the site was about $7,600, according to officialpokerrankings.com. With the win, he pocketed more than $450,000.
The Web site poker-king.com recounted the heads-up action:

The flop came 5 10 2, giving “Reverse” a pair. The turn was a 6 and the river was a 2, giving “Reverse” the victory and the FTOPS title.
The event featured a prize pool of nearly $2.6 million. Everyone at the final table made more than $30K — ninth place in the event earned a $34,000 payday.
