With the Full Tilt Online Poker Series IX drawing huge numbers, it certainly isn't easy making it to a final table, yet somehow PokerRoad blogger Kevin "GetPWN3D" Saul made it to another final just three days after taking fourth in event #12.

In event #17, a $300+ 22 6-Max with rebuys, Saul improved on his earlier result but was ultimately frustrated again, taking second to online player "MishkaT". Saul earned $167,842.50 for the second place finish, leaving "MishkaT" the biggest piece of the pie worth $251,763.75. These huge payoffs were due in part to 1,059 players entering the event, but were primarily created by the astounding 2,239 rebuys, absolutely smashing the million dollar guarantee by more than $200,000.

The final table finish positions for the Full Tilt Online Poker Series Event #17 were as follows:

1st. MishkaT- $251,763.75
2nd. Kevin "GetPWN3D" Saul- $167,842.50
3rd. Luke "IWEARGOGGLES" Staudenmaier- $119,542.50
4th. Masterhp- $89,355.00
5th. eisenhower1- $63,997.50
