Eyster Headlines Big Day for US Players
After Black Friday American poker pro Kevin "1SickDisease" Eyster was forced to relocate north of the border and yesterday it paid off by way of his first FTOPS title.

Spanne, originally from California, is now playing online poker from Spain.
Kevin “kice32” Iacofano finished fourth, narrowly missing his first FTOPS title. Iacofano had a runner-up finish in an FTOPS event in 2007, a WCOOP win in 2009 and a victory in the Sunday Million earlier this month.
