As the Full Tilt Online Poker Series pushed full speed ahead with its 14th series, the Full Tilt Pros were at the ready to make their marks. The first ten events were lacking those pros at their final tables, but with Event 11, the pros were rising up to the challenge. Julian Gardner not only made the final table of that tournament but finished second, as did Steve Zolotow in Event 13, and Peter Feldman just missed the final table of Event 12 with a ninth place finish. But it was Greg “FBT” Mueller who pushed forward and took the title in Event 19, adding to a year that included two WSOP bracelets and another final table at the summer’s WSOP series. And only two days prior, David Pham captured the title in Event 14.

Another $4.5 million was awarded in the nine events covered in this recap, pushing the total for FTOPS XIV well above the $10 million mark for the series with six more events to go including the main event. The results for Events 11 through 19 can be found here.
