Farges explained during the last break that he invested just $104 on Full Tilt to get here. He first joined and won a $10 rebuy event, which earned him a seat in a $322 super satellite. The super sat. had 92 players and gave away two seats. He claimed one of them and Shaun Deeb snatched up the other.
Along the way, Farges told us he managed to knock out Full Tilt Pro Martin Kläser in the $322 super, claiming one of Full Tilt's pro bounties worth $200, meaning the seat essentially cost him nothing.
Farges is currently sitting with about 43,000 in chips and to the immediate left of WPT pro Antonio Esfandiari.
