He would fall short, finishing in 4th place, while another former jersey winner, DeceptionPt,”would nab win number two.

There is probably some sort of etiquette violation in a host winning their own poker tournament, but we’ll forgive Greg “FBT” Mueller this time around.

Most online poker players will tell you it is difficult enough to win one FTOPS event, let alone two or three. They will also probably tell you that the chances of winning the same event in multiple FTOPS are very slim. Yet, that is exactly what “elderhoe” did tonight in FTOPS XIV Event #8 , [...]
