PocketFives.com members had a tremendous weekend in major tournaments led by Amit amak316 Makhija (pictured), who won the Full Tilt Poker FTOPS $5,000+200 Event #22 on Sunday for $550,000. Moments after his victory, Amit talked with PocketFives.com about his FTOPS win. "This victory is amazing for me because I think everyone would agree that this tournament had one of the toughest lineups ever assembled. I have made a ton of major final tables this year; always falling short of the title (second in WPT Legends of Poker and 5th in $10k WSOP Pot limit Hold'em event). I feel like this win gets that monkey off my back." Fellow member decay took 2nd in that same tournament for $362,500 followed by PureCash25, who earned $262,500 for 3rd place.
