“sh4xuR7” Wins XL Inferno Opening Event for Nearly $14K

The $109 buy-in XL Inferno Event #1: $50,000 Opening Event attracted 534 players who rebought 192, which meant the guarantee was surpassed with a $72,600 prize pool on tap. The top 72 players got paid including XL Blizzard champ “IlovePickles” (51st - $290.40), “CutinuaBR” (38th - $326.70), “HowardFolder” (27th - $435.60), and Sam “sammygrinder” Grafton (24th - $435.60).

Grafton actually fired four bullets (the max allowed) in the tournament, meaning he recouped his entire investment minus $1. Others to cash were “Paradigm21” (17th - $580.80), “exPROsjak” (9th - $1,110.78), “Farrugia_1” (6th - $3,085.50), “jmsantos10” (4th - $5,590.20), and “Alex_Vol” (3rd - $7,405.20).

It took just over nine hours for a winner to emerge and happened when Austria’s “sh4xuR7” defeated the UK’s “pokerdave128” in heads-up play to win the title and $13,721.40 first-place prize.

In the final hand of the tournament, “pokerdave128 jammed his last 12 big blinds with king-three suited and “sh4xuR7” called with ace-three offsuit. The former needed to get lucky but came up empty as the board ran out nine high to send him to the rail in second place for $10,055.

Malta’s “wh4ishat3” Claims Mini Opening Event Title

The $16.50 buy-in XL Inferno Event #2: $20,000 Mini Opening Event attracted 1,468 players who rebought 582 times. That easily surpassed the guarantee by creating a $30,750 prize pool paid out to the top 162 players.

Among those to make deep runs were “Melapika” (46th - $86.10), “managaa” (26th - $123), “N33dCoaching” (17th - $147.60), “lovelydonk” (11th - $270.60), “AMG_people” (5th - $1,522.12), and “F.Lupo” (5th - $2,091).

The final three players struck a deal and then played it out. After 8 hours and 38 minutes in the tournament, Malta’s “wh4ishat3” bested Belarus’s “k29mario” in heads-up play to win the title and $5,114.25 in prize money.

Late Opening Event Ends in Heads-Up Deal

The $55 buy-in XL Inferno Event #3: $20,000 Late Opening Event saw 434 players rebuy 145 times to create a $28,950 prize pool. Among the top 63 to get a piece of it were “ILovePickles” (46th - $136.06), “luisnrd” (24th - $173.70), “lagostim” (18th - $231.60), “jmsantos10” (10th - $347.40), “gibidon” (6th - $1,230.37), and “MorayEEEEEL” (3rd - $2,258.10).

The final two players struck a deal and played it out with the UK’s “elephant107” beating Finland’s “winlikefedor” after nearly seven hours of play. While he officially finished in second place, the latter actually took home more money thanks to the deal.

“D3n1sk4PP” Wins 2019 XL Inferno Main Event; “Tuna_lover” Claims Two Titles

The 2019 XL Inferno wrapped up on Sunday as 888poker hosted the final three tournaments on the 34-event schedule. Over the course of the series, 39,378 entrants competed and $1,695,881 in prize money was awarded.

Here’s a look at some highlights from the last four days of the 2019 XL Inferno.

The $250 buy-in Event #32: $500,000 Main Event just snuck past its guarantee by attracting 1,634 players who rebought 502 time, which created a $501,960 prize pool paid out to the top 207 players.

Among those to cash the tournament were 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (136th - $702.74), Nicolas “PKaiser” Fierro (72nd - $1,104.31), “23NoraB” (32nd - $1,656.46), “InJeBakkes” (21st - $1,907.44), “Drawhappy” (6th - $19,074.48), and “forza749” (4th - $32,627.40).

The last 888poker Ambassador standing fell in Level 25 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when Serbia’s “mr.Frodo91” raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Sofia 0Lövgren defended her big blind to see a 4♣Q♣A♥ flop.

Lövgren checked and “mr.Frodo91” bet 74,240. Lövgren check-raised all in holding the 8♣5♣ for a flush draw and her opponent called with the A♣9♦. Neither the Q♦ turn nor J♥ river helped Lövgren and she exited in 60th place for $1,205.

At the final table, the final three players worked a deal before playing it out. That is when “lucasfalves9” got his stack in holding the K♦J♥ and failed to get there against the A♣Q♥ of Brazil’s “LuisRRRRR.”

That set up a heads-up match with the Brazilian holding a slight chip lead over Russia’s “D3n1sk4PP.” The duo would exchange the chip lead several times before the final hand took place after 14 hours and 9 minutes in the tournament.

It happened when “LuisRRRRR” moved all in with the K♥J♥ and “D3n1sk4PP” called holding the Q♦Q♠. the board ran out 5♠9♣A♥5♦4♥ and the ladies held to give the Russia the biggest first-place prize of the 2019 XL Inferno.

XL Eclipse Champ Richard “ChipsFool” Hoadley Claims Inferno Title

The $160 buy-in Event #23: $50,000 PKO 8-Max didn’t have any problem surpassing its guarantee as 343 players rebought 119 times to create a $69,300 prize pool. That was split evenly between the regular and bounty prize pools.

Among those to finish in the top 48 and get a piece of it were XL Blizzard champ “IlovePickles” (25th - $235.62 + $75 in bounties), “ZDamian” (13th - $467.77 + $468.76 in bounties), “KeepTrying05” (5th - $1,819.12 + $834.38 in bounties), and “HermanMelvin” (3rd - $3,724.87 + $1,205.86 in bounties).

After 8 hours and 49 minutes, it was the UK’s Richard “ChipsFool” Hoadley defeating Russia’s LeslieGroves” in heads-up play to win the title and $6,670.28 top prize, plus an additional $5,225.05 progressive bounty.

You might remember that in last September’s XL Eclipse, Hoadley topped a 1,002-entry field to win the Opening Event for nearly $19k.

“Tuna_lover” Becomes Two-Time 2019 XL Inferno Champ

The $55 buy-in Event #26: $30,000 DeepStack saw 544 players rebuy 176 times to create a $36,000 prize pool. After nearly 10 hours of play, the tournament came to an end after a heads-up deal between the UK’s “Tuna_lover” and Brazil’s “LeoJoseCarne.” The former finished in first place for $6,581.64 while the latter took second for $5,208.36.

It actually marked the second win of the series for “Tuna_lover” after he topped a 685-entry field to win Event #4: $30,000 PKO for $5,519.90 in prize money.

Brazil’s “EduAraujo” Turns $33 into $12,333.85 Payday

While the XL Inferno Main Event recapped above was the premier tournament of the series, there were actually two other events playing out on Sunday. That included the $33 buy-in Event #33: $50,000 Mini Main Event, a tournament that drew 1,805 players who rebought 629 times. The 2,434-entry field resulted in a $73,020 prize pool that was paid out to the top 207 players.

Among those to make a deep run were “Kezlord” (29th - $240.96), “hackket” (18th - $328.59), “Msea_13” (13th - $474.63), “Kaktus26rus” (8th - $1,387.38), “Charlymogo” (6th - $2,774.76), and “Blackfile888” (3rd - $6,717.84).

After 10 hours and 20 minutes, Brazil’s “EduAraujo” defeated the UK’s “Nacenacja” in heads-up play to claim the title and accompanying $12,333.85 first-place prize. It marked the fourth 2019 XL Inferno title won by a Brazilian.

Finally, Lithuania’s “vascoscruz” navigated a 3,562-entry field to win the $5.50 buy-in Event #34: Micro Main Event turning his small investment into a $2,656.15 payday!

Among those to cash were 888poker Ambassador Ana Marquez (40th - $600), Ian “Simpioni” Simpson (28th - $650), Steven “Kale333” van Zadelhoff (13th - $1,250), “marksteve” (6th - $4,400), and “lucasarouck” (3rd - $11,000).

After 10 hours and 23 minutes, Malta’s “GandaCu88” defeated “p1n1she45” in heads-up play to win the title and $19,350 first-place prize.

888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche Final Tables Whale

The $530 buy-in Rake of Break Whale had a $25,000 target, which it failed to hit as 40 players rebought seven times to create a $23,500 prize pool. That meant all players received their rake back, while the top six took home some prize money.

That included 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche, who finished in fifth place for $1,762.50. After 5 hours and 22 minutes, it was the UK’s “cheveuxbleu” besting “kiskutya23” in heads-up play to win the tournament for $8,695.

Malta’s “xane7a” Weathers the Monsoon for $2,547

The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon had 188 players rebuy 49 times to generate an $11,850 prize pool. The top 27 got a piece of it including “JNSP77” (23rd - $118.50), “Hudder5” (13th - $177.75), “chazcombes” (8th - $355.50), “EyeofSkadi” (6th - $592.50), and “AZUREDWAN” (3rd - $1,392.37).

After nearly seven hours in the tournament, Malta’s “xane7a” defeated the UK’s “usainzeus25” to win the title and $2,547.79 top prize.

Ian “Simpioni” Simpson More than Up for the Sunday Challenge

The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge saw 178 players rebuy 60 times to create a $23,800 prize pool. That was paid out amongst the top 27 players including “BehindSpace” (25th - $238), “Smithstudent” (13th - $357), “MAMOHT_T” (9th - $476), and “CalmRevolver” (4th - $2,082.50).

The final three players all hailed from the UK, and after “Hudder5” busted in third place for $2,796.50 the title came down to Ian “Simpioni” Simpson and “Kroat.” After seven hours and six minutes in the tournament, the former finished as the last player standing to win the title and $5,117 first-place prize.

Sweden’s “WowAceDude” Claims Sunday Deepstack Monsoon Title

The $55 buy-in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon surpassed its $10,000 guarantee by attracting 172 players who rebought 63 times. That created a $11,750 prize pool that was paid out to the top 27 players including “888pruha” (21st - $117.50), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (13th - $176.25), “MAMOHT_T” (8th - $352.50), and “mne_d0edet1” (4th - $1,028.12).

After “JBHInfinity” bowed out in third place for $1,380.62, the title came down to Sweden’s “WowAceDude” and Russia’s “zaSPARTAK.” Just over nine hours in the tournament, it was the Swede coming out on top to the tune of $2,526.29.

Welcome to 888poker’s XL Eclipse Recap

Yesterday: September 12, 2019

2019 XL Eclipse kicked off on 888poker with the first three tournaments on the 34-event schedule. By the end of the night, three winners from three different countries had been crowned and $119,060 in prize money awarded. Here are some highlights from the opening day.
Canada’s “JonnyJamz” Wins Event #1: $50,000 Opening Event for Nearly $13K

The first tournament on the schedule was the $109 buy-in Event #1: $50,000 Opening Event, which surpassed its guarantee by attracting 505 players who rebought 181 times. The 686-entry field resulted in a $68,600 prize pool that was paid out to the top 72 players.

Among those to cash after Russia’s “89rhino89” bubbled were “PulledPorker” (63rd - $240.10), “LekkerLoose” (60th - $240.10), “RaiseRaiZe” (55th - $240.10), “sweet_dr34ms” (50th - $274.40), and 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (49th - $274.40).

According to PokerNews updates from the tournament, Moorman fell in Level 21 (6,000/12,000/1,500) when he shoved all in from the cutoff for 160,000 holding the A♥10♠ and “wilhasha13” moved all in over the top for 540,000 with the A♣Q♦ on the button. Both blinds folded and Moorman was looking to get lucky. That didn’t happen though as the board instead ran out a dry 6♥2♥3♦J♥7♠.

Speaking of “wilhasha13,” he made it all the way to the final table and ultimately fell in fourth place losing A♥K♣ all in preflop against the Q♣10♣ of “JonnyJamz” after a J♥8♦Q♥5♣7♣ runout. He earned $5,282 for his deep run.

After “M4zITov” exited in third place for $6,997, “JonnyJamz” took a more than 9:1 chip lead into heads-up play against Ukraine’s “forvardok.” In what would be the final hand of the tournament, the Ukrainian jammed his last 11 bigs with the 9♠8♣ and “JonnyJamz” called holding the A♥3♠.

The board ran out A♠2♠6♣8♥J♥ and “JonnyJamz” improved to a pair of aces to seal the deal. For his runner-up finish “forvardok” took home $9,501 in prize money.

Germany’s “maltzitT” Turns $16.50 Into $4,295 in Event #2

The $16.50 buy-in Event #2: $20,000 Mini Opening Event saw 1,266 players rebuy 418 times to create a 1,684-entry field and a $25,260 prize pool. That was distributed amongst the top 162 finishers including “Tuna_lover” (61st - $65.67), “boogsboy” (42nd - $78.30), “Sauron96” (20th - $101.04), “twin4ik” (10th - $222.28), “cosmiNik” (6th - $997.77), and “hackket” (4th - $1,717.68).

After Brazil’s “CabecaTilt” bowed out in third place for $2,397.17, the title came down to Romania’s “RazvyB” and Germany’s “maltzitT.” Two minutes past eight hours of play, the latter came out on top to win it for $4,294.86. Not a bad return on investment!

Finland’s “dmg34” Wins Late Opening Event

The third and final tournament of the 2019 XL Eclipse opening day was Event #3: $20,000 Late Opening Event, which cruised by its $20K GTD by drawing 367 players that rebought 137 times. The 504-entry field created a $25,200 prize pool that was paid out to the top 54 spots including to “JonnyJamz” (36th - $151.20), “Merfins” (21st - $176.40), “WadoIchimonj” (11th - $327.60), “begood9999” (6th - $1,071), and “Margetik” (3rd - $2,646).

After just over seven hours in the tournament, it was Finland’s “dmg34” besting “BhadizUlue” in heads-up play to win the title and $4,835.88 first-
place prize.

What to Watch For

The 2019 XL Eclipse on 888poker is just getting started! There are multiple events each day now through September 22. By the end, more than $1.4 million will be awarded over 34 events. The different variants include no-limit hold’em as well as 6-max, 8-max, Deep Stack, and the popular Progressive Knock Out (PKO) variant.

The XL Eclipse will culminate in a $250 Main Event that offers a $500K GTD. Last year, Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy topped a 709-entry field to win that tournament for $187,500.

This year’s XL Eclipse offers a wide range of buy-ins from as low as $5.50 all the way up to $320 for Event #17: $100,000 High Roller.

Welcome to 888poker’s XL Eclipse Recap

2019 XL Eclipse Reaches Halfway Point

Peter “kiskutya23” Traply Wins XL Eclipse High Roller

The biggest buy-in of the 2019 XL Eclipse – the $320 Event #17: High Roller – saw 223 players rebuy 84 times, which meant the 307-entry field offered up a $100,000 prize pool to the top 36 players. 888poker Ambassadors Ana “AnaMarquez” Marquez and Sofia “sofialovgren” Lövgren both played but failed to cash.

Among those to cash after 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche bubbled in 37th place was “EyeofSkadi” (30th - $750), “dmg34” (19th - $850), 888poker Ambassador Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson (13th - $1,350), “chazcombes” (9th - $1,900), “sweet_dr34ms” (4th - $8,500), and Joao “joaobarb” Barbosa (3rd - $11,300).

After 10 hours and 14 minutes, it was Peter “kiskutya23” Traply besting “Kroat.” In heads-up play to win the title and $20,450 first-place prize. Behind Chris Moorman, Traply is one of online poker’s most accomplished tournament players with nearly $17 million in earnings according to PocketFives.

According to PokerNews’ live updates from the tournament, the final hand saw “Kroat.” Jam with pocket deuces and Traply called holding ace-queen. It was a flip and Traply flopped an open-ended straight draw to go with his overs. A queen on the turn gave him the lead, and the river bricked for “Kroat.” to put an end to the tournament.

Russia’s “SiladuS92” finished in second place for $19,061.35 while Swedish poker pro Robin “Inho” Ylitalo claimed the title and $21,708.74 in prize money.

Ylitalo, a regular on 888poker, is not only an accomplished online player, he has also made his mark in the live realm with more than $1.8 million in live tournament earnings. That includes a career-high $909,574 for winning the EPT10 London back in 2013.

Serbia’s “3ptAmin” Has 424% Return on Investment

One things that makes the XL Eclipse so appealing is that there are events for players of all bankrolls. That includes a full slate of low buy-in tournaments such as the $5.50 buy-in Event #12: $10,000 Micro Tune Up, which drew 2,215 players who rebought 735 times.

That meant a $14,750 prize pool was created with $2,331.27 of that set aside for the winner. It took 8 hours and 51 minutes of player of that champion to emerge and it was Serbia’s “3ptAmin” turning his tiny $5.50 investment into a hefty $2,331.27. That represented a 424% return on investment!

Taking a Title Back to Zimbabwe

The $22 buy-in Event #5: $20,000 Mini PKO had 981 players rebuy 270 times, which meant the $25,020 prize pool was split equally between the regular and bounty pools. The tournament paid 126 players, and the big story coming out of the tournament was the victory of “TheMightyGur,” who not only won a $2,252.25 first-place prize but also the accompanying $1,240.40 progressive knockout bounty.

The victory was unique in that “TheMightyGur” became the first player from Zimbabwe to capture a XL title on 888poker!

What to Watch For

The 2019 XL Eclipse on 888poker has passed its halfway point with 19 tournaments from the 34-event schedule in the books. That said, there are still plenty of great tournaments to be had including a bunch of PKO events (Wednesday, September 18 and Thursday, September 19), a day full of DeepStack tournaments (Friday, September 20), and 6-Max madness (Saturday, September 21).

On Sunday, September 22, the XL Eclipse will culminate in a $250 Main Event that offers a $500K GTD. Last year, Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy topped a 709-entry field to win that tournament for $187,500.

Welcome to 888poker’s XL Eclipse Recap

The 2019 XL Eclipse wrapped up on Sunday night. For the past week and a half, 34 events have played out on 888poker. During that time, 40,003 entries competed throughout the tournaments and $1,729,210 in prize money was awarded.

Winners hailed from all across the world including Belarus, Peru, Lithuania, Costa Rica, Canada, Germany, Finland, Brazil, the UK, Sweden, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Ireland, and even Zimbabwe.

Brazil’s “chiconogue” Wins XL Eclipse Main Event for $57,826.45

The XL Eclipse culminated in the $250 Main Event that offered a $500K GTD, which cruised by the guarantee by attracting 1,647 players who rebought 517 times. The 2,164-entry field resulted in a $508,540 prize pool that was paid out to the top 207 players.

Among those to get a piece of it were “prebzzz” (191st - $559.39), “HomoDeus” (150th - $661.10), “inkhole” (116th - $864.51), and 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (90th - $1,017.08).

According to PokerNews Live Updates of the tournament, Moorman fell in Level 25 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when he got the last of his chips all in preflop holding the K♠Q♦ against the A♥Q♣ of “GusKi14.” The board ran out Q♠6♥8♥5♠A♣ and Moorman took his leave with a profit of $17 given he was in for four bullets!

Others to cash but fall short of making the final table were “Nickelld” (53rd - $1,322.50), “KURDEdersim” (13th - $4,405.51), and “GusKi14” (10th - $4,271.73).

With four players remaining, a deal was struck for the vast majority of the remaining prize money, though some cash and the title were left up top. From there, Brazil’s “chiconogue” eliminated “Lucky_Frutti” and “si1entb0b” in fourth and third place for $33,055 and $46,786 respectively, which allowed him to take a nearly 2:1 chip lead into heads-up play against Germany’s “amaze1.”

From there, the Brazilian pulled out to a 9:1 chip lead before finishing it off just shy of 14 hours in the tournament. In the final hand of the tournament, which took place in Level 38 (500,000/1,000,000/125,000), “amaze1” got his last 8.5 big blinds in preflop holding the 8♦7♦ and was behind the J♦9♦ of “chiconogue.”

The 6♥7♥4♠ flop gave “amaze1” the lead, and he held it through the 4♣ turn. Unfortunately for him, the 9♠ spiked on the river to give “chiconogue” the win and send the German out in second place for $49,751.05.

Belarus’ “k29mario” Nearly Wins Both Mini and Micro Main Events

Meanwhile, the two other “Main Events” played out on Sunday. First was the $33 buy-in Event #33: $50,000 Mini Main Event, which crushed its guarantee by drawing 1,901 players who rebought 720 times. The 2,621-entry field resulted in a $78,630 prize pool and the tournament ended in a three-way deal that saw Ukraine’s “SpielerKind” take the title for $10,886.69, while Russia’s “1sharb” and Belarus’ “k29mario” finished in second and third for $9,552.49 and $8,065.18 respectively.

Finally, the series closed out with the $5.50 buy-in Event #34: $15,000 Micro Main Event, which drew 2,536 players who rebought 1,037 times. The 3,573-entry field created a $17,865 prize pool. The aforementioned “k29mario,” who placed third in the Mini Main Event, finished as the last player standing after 9 hours and 16 minutes. The $2,664.26 top prize meant he had a 484% return on investment.

Finland’s “dmg34” Becomes Captures 2nd Title of Series

One of the biggest stories to come out of the XL Eclipse was that of Finland’s “dmg34,” who became the only two-time winner of the series.

On the first day of this year’s XL Eclipse, he topped a 504-entry field to win the $55 buy-in Event #3: $20,000 Late Opening Event for $4,835.88. One week later, he followed it up with a victory over 468 runners in the $160 buy-in Event #23: $50,000 PKO 8-Max for $6,756.75 and a big bounty prize.

Unfortunately, technical issues resulted in the entire $35,100 bounty prize pool being awarded to the winner. As such, players affected by the error will be credited with correct bounty payouts. The below payouts are prizes not including bounties.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: October 6, 2019

Canada’s “wells_russ” Tops Massive Field in Sunday Sale Mega Deep

This week’s $100K GTD Sunday Mega Deep on 888poker was a special “Sale” edition, meaning the usual $215 buy-in was slashed to just $109. A massive 908 players rebuying 384 times created a $129,200 prize pool that was paid out to the top 117 players.

Among those to get a piece of it were “Fukuruku” (83rd - $297.16), “Dallmad” (47th - $413.44), “Gavin527” (25th - $594.32), “EyeofSkadi” (16th - $839.80), “Worm236” (8th - $2,648.60), and “LeetRunGoot” (4th - $9,367).

After “shakentoucan” bowed out in third place for $12,532.40, the title came down to Canada’s “wells_russ” and Brazil’s “cairoek.” After nearly 11 hours in the tournament, the former prevailed to claim the title and $23,256 top prize.

“b4his” Takes Down Sunday Sale Whale for $10,425

The $320 buy-in Sunday Sale Whale had a $20,000 guarantee, which is more than doubled as 98 players rebought 41 times to create a $41,700 prize pool. Among those to cash but fall short of making the final table were “Kroat.” (13th - $875.70), Ian “Simpioni” Simpson (11th - $1,000.80), and “Kaggis” (10th - $1,00.80).

It took 6 hours and 47 minutes before Germany’s “b4his” finished as the last player standing, a win good for a $10,425.

Malta’s “okokok1893” Proves Himself Up for the Sunday Challenge

The $55 buy-in Sunday Sale Challenge cruised past its $20,000 guarantee by attracting 478 players who rebought 142 times. That resulted in a $31,000 prize pool that was paid out to the top 63 spots including “Namlleh” (53rd - $145.70), “Nevercall16” (31st - $170.50), “Doked” (17th - $248),”gimnast2605” (7th – 1,007.50), and “BehindSpace” (3rd - $3,177.50).

After more than nine hours or play topped off by a back-and-forth heads-up match, it was Malta’s “okokok1893” besting “hakunamata2” to emerge victorious for $5,890.

Kazakhstan’s “Cstl01” Victorious in Monsoon

The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon had 178 players who rebought 51 times, which resulted in an $11,450 prize pool. The top 27 finishers got a piece of it including “shanefry” (23rd - $114.50), “AlmostWinnin” (17th - $143.12), “YSoSerious7” (9th - $229), “FullMounts” (5th - $687), and “89rhino89” (3rd - $1,345.37).

Five minutes shy of the seven-hour mark in the tournament, it was Kazakhstan’s “Cstl01” defeating the UK’s “2Sm00th” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $2,461.79 first-place prize. It was a bit of redemption for “Cstl01,” who last month finished runner-up in the 888poker XL Eclipse Event #31: $15,000 Late 6-Max for $3,170.

Canada’s “Unde_” Claims Sunday Deepstack Monsoon Title

The $55 buy-in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon had 156 players rebuy 67 times, which meant the $10K GTD was surpassed by creating an $11,150 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 27 players including “TomBrady17” (21st - $111.50), “marsanpoker” (14th - $167.25), “Sinistrous” (6th - $557.50), and “Gotyoudude” (3rd - $1,310.12).

After 8 hours and 12 hours in the tournament, it was Canada’s “Unde_” besting “evil_dante89” in heads-up play to win the title and $2,397.29 first-place prize.
