FTOPS IX: 'yuvee04' Wins Two Events In One Day
Published on 14 Aug 08 10:57 by Drakhor
Yuval 'yuvee04' Bronshtein achieved the almost impossible: He won two FTOPS events in one evening. Already in 2007 he wrapped up an FTOPS tournament.
Two events, over 4,000 participants and one winner who earned more than $170,000. Two FTOPS wins in a single night is a unique feat for now, and this success will probably not be repeated that soon. With this, the US American 'yuvee04' might have written the story of the year of 2008 for the online poker. Rank 1 in the $500
H.O.R.S.E. tournament (Event 14) as well as a win in the $200 NLH Turbo tournament
(Event 15) in only a few hours.
Further successes prove that 'yuvee04' is no flash in the pan: Already at the FTOPS VI he won the Stud event. Live as well he already called attention to himself when Michael Craig wrote in his blog on Full Tilt Poker,
that 'yuvee04' is an extremely talented player. Craig met him during the WSOP Europe - 'yuvee04' finished sixth in the £2,500 H.O.R.S.E event there. In the $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em tournament of the WSOP 2007 he only barely missed a bracelet - he finished on rank 3 and received about $109,000.
It remains to be seen if 'yuvee04' will soon be added to the team of the Full Tilt Pros. What seems to be sure though is that one will also hear about the young poker player in the future.
