Full Tilt Poker’s MiniFTOPS had a big day on Sunday as three MiniFTOPS events were held. The day kicked off with the ‘6 max super stack knockout’ which brought in 15,742 players, and a first place prize of $46,794.23. ’R3IAAxx’ beasted that large field to claim the MiniFTOPS victory and one nice payday. The next event to take place was the ‘heads-up shootout’ as 4,015 players made their bid at the $30,000 plus first place prize. ‘JMac227’ won over 10 heads up bouts as he cruised to the heads-up victory. The final event of the day brought the biggest field and prize pool out of three mini events. Event #10 saw 17,879 players hit the felt with a total prize pool of $536,370. ‘ToM RoX 420’ defeated ‘AceWPT’ to win the super stack event which held a first place prize of $80,455.50. Christmas shopping should be a little less stressful this year for the winners.

The PokerStars United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour Galway will begin to wrap things up today as the remaining field will hit the final table. 259 players showed to up to play the €2,000 buy-in main event.
