The Mini Full Tilt Online Poker Series (MiniFTOPS) is underway. With three events in the books, PocketFives.com member slmfast14 has already come out on top, winning the $26 Pot Limit Omaha High-Low Knockout for $16,000. A field of 4,198 players turned out, boosting the tournament’s prize pool well past its $75,000 guarantee, and the top 450 players finished in the money. The MiniFTOPS win marked the latest accolade for slmfast14, who has also taken down the Turbo $50,000 Guaranteed on Full Tilt Poker.

The kickoff event of MiniFTOPS XV drew a crowd of 18,875 players, the third largest field in MiniFTOPS history. The opening tournament, a $22 No Limit Hold’em event, carried a guaranteed prize pool of $350,000, but nearly $380,000 was up for grabs when all was said and done. No PocketFives.com members reached the top three of the MiniFTOPS XV event, but a colossal 2,475 players finished in the money. In the end, edge_lover banked $50,000 for his $22 investment after a three-way chop. Here’s how the final table shook out in Event #1 of MiniFTOPS XV, reflecting the three-handed deal:

1. edge_lover - $49,913
2. GOTTHEREFIRST - $32,811
3. TheNuttyNinja - $35,290

Event #3 of MiniFTOPS XV was a $55 No Limit Hold’em Shootout, which attracted a pack of 729 players and created a total purse of $36,000. Full Tilt Poker player potripper420 edged out PocketFives.com member ThePimpOfPoker heads-up. ThePimpOfPoker earned $5,100 for his efforts, adding to an online poker tournament resume that already includes a runner-up effort in the Full Tilt Poker $200,000 Double Deuce for $22,000 last September and a win in the site’s Turbo Fiddy one week ago for $5,200.

Finishing in third place and earning $3,600 was J.P. RiverMePlz Felder (pictured at right), who hails from Texas. Here’s how the top three spots in Event #3 panned out:
