It was an impressive final table during the Full Tilt Online Poker Series Event #9. It saw the chip leader going into the final table take his stack and triple it even more by taking out the other players at the table. It also saw the short stack going into the final table, basically with one foot out the door, mount an unbelievable comeback to go heads up with the tables chip leader. So it was a classic heads up match of the short stack going heads up with the chip leader. The players I am referring to are the chip leader “bigdogpckt5s” and the short stack “xtheory”. however in the end even after an awesome fight put up by “xtheory”, it was “bigdogpckt5s” who’s hand was raised victorious.
