Congratulations to Friend of Full Tilt Poker, Alex Kravchenko, who finished fourth in the World Series of Poker Main Event, earning him $1,852,721. Alex came to the Main Event final table as the short stack, but managed to hang on until fourth place, when his A-K did not improve against eventual champion Jerry Yang’s pocket Eights.
The fourth-place finish in the Main Event completed an impressive 2007 World Series of Poker for Kravchenko, where he won more than $2 Million in total prizes and became the first Russian player ever to win a bracelet, taking first place in the $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo event. Alex incredibly made a third final table in the $5,000 HORSE event, where he placed ninth.
Kravchenko finished fifth on the 2007 WSOP money list and ranks second on the Russian all time money list.

He was eliminated from play by another Friend of Full Tilt Poker − and eventual winner − Jerry Yang. Yang, holding J-8, caught an eight on the turn to knock off Childs with his hand of K-J.
"My goal when I came in to the tournament was to trust my instincts, make the right decision and hopefully not get unlucky," Childs said. "I was that close to doubling up."
Lee Watkinson Leaves the Main Event in 8th Place
Congratulations to Full Tilt Poker Pro, Lee Watkinson who took home more than $585,000 for his incredible eighth-place finish at the 2007 WSOP Main Event. Watkinson's success at the Main Event marks his fourth World Series of Poker final table and his 10th cash overall.

Congratulations to Team Full Tilt’s Mike “The Mouth” Matusow on his second-place finish at The Bellagio Cup III Championship Event. Playing from a short stack for most of the tournament, Mike fought through the field of more than 500 players in this prestigious WPT event.
In final heads-up play, Mike went all-in with a straight flush draw against his opponent’s pocket queens, but failed to connect on either the turn or the river. Although we know that Mike is never satisfied with anything less than first-place, perhaps he can take comfort in the $671,320 he earned for his impressive finish.

Ram Vaswani notched yet another bracelet for the Full Tilt Poker pros, taking first in the $1,500 Limit Hold ‘em Shootout and winning his first World Series of Poker* championship.

Craig’s total winnings at this year’s World Series of Poker* are now more than $38,000 – not a bad payday for this Full Tilt Poker blogger and author of such books as The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King.
Another Full Tilt Pro who’s hitting his stride this year is Marco Traniello. Marco took fifth in the $10,000 World Championship Pot-Limit Omaha event, eighth in the $5,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud, and ninth in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold ‘em event.

Half-Time at Series 2007
We're halfway through the WSOP* and the Full Tilt Poker pros are continuing to put their names on the scoreboard at this year's Series.
So far in WSOP* 2007, Team Full Tilt and the Full Tilt Poker Pros have netted an amazing $2.3 million, almost 5% of the total combined prize pools to date.
Some of the most notable finishes this year include Allen Cunningham's fifth career bracelet, second-place finishes from Phil Ivey, Gavin Smith and Greg "FBT" Mueller, as well as 15 other final-table finishes. Overall, our pros have tallied 73 combined cashes so far this year, and many of them have had multiple cashes.
It's been a great first half for our pros - and we're sure they'll keep running up the score in the second half of Series 2007.
Team Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey is a Seven-Card Stud
Congratulations to Team Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey for his second-place finish in the WSOP’s* $5,000 World Championship Seven-Card Stud tournament.
Ivey narrowly missed out on winning his sixth-career bracelet when he was bested by long-time Seven-Card Stud specialist Chris Reslock in heads-up play. Still, Ivey’s performance earned him a tidy $143,820 in second-place prize money.
Joining Ivey at the final table were Full Tilt Poker’s David Oppenheim who collected $93,060 for third, and Marco Traniello who made his second final-table appearance of the series and who pocketed $19,458 for eighth.

Gavin Smith Scoops a Huge Payday in Event 4
Congratulations to Gavin Smith , who played his way to a $155,645 payday and a second-place finish in the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold ‘em event.
Gavin battled his way through a field of 780 players and looked to be a strong favorite going into the final table. He started heads-up play with an early chip lead over his opponent. However, a few key hands eliminated this advantage and forced him to tighten up his play. On the final hand, Gavin pushed his pre-flop advantage with a small pocket pair, but unfortunately it just couldn’t hold up against Ace-Ten suited.
Gavin wasn’t the only Full Tilt Poker Pro at the final table. He was joined by Marco Traniello, who earned $15,000 for his own final table appearance.
Congratulations again to both of these pros for their strong performance in Event 4!
Greg Mueller Blows the Series Wide Open
Congratulations to Greg "Full Blown Tilt" Mueller on his thrilling second-place finish in the first event of the 2007 World Series of Poker*.
One of the chip leaders for most of the tournament, Greg went into heads-up play with a commanding chip lead. However, his opponent hit two successive full houses to seize the lead. Crippled by these hands and steadily increasing blinds, Greg was forced to make some marginal plays, and unfortunately Lady Luck wasn't as kind as she had been to his opponent.
It wasn't all bad though – although he just missed winning his first bracelet, Greg's runner-up finish rewarded him with $328,000 for his efforts. Not a bad start to the WSOP*.
A Race For Gold
The WSOP* kicks off tomorrow, and thousands of people from around the world will soon be heading to Las Vegas to play for a bracelet of their very own.

KingDan23 turned up A-J, but John_McClane17 paired his 7 on the flop and booked the win when KingDan23 failed to improve. KingDan23 earned nearly $203,000 for his impressive second-place finish.
The Matador Grabs WPT Title and Poker History by the Horns
Congratulations to Full Tilt Poker pro Carlos “The Matador” Mortensen, who rallied through three hours of gruelling heads-up play against Kirk Morrison to win the 2007 WPT Five Star World Poker Classic – making him the first player to ever win both a WPT World Championship and a WSOP* Main Event.
The chip lead would switch sides five times during the night until Morrison moved all in pre-flop with A-4 and Mortensen called with K-J suited. The flop fell 7-4-3 giving Morrison a big advantage with a pair. But a Jack on the turn and a 3 on the river meant Mortensen had a higher two pair and the victory.
Mortensen’s $3.9 million win moves him into the top-10 all-time money list and is a crowning achievement in an already impressive career. Besides winning the 2001 Main Event, Mortensen owns another World Series of Poker* bracelet, and a second WPT title.
