That meant the top 56 players would earn a piece of the $50,000 prize pool including “ParzivaI” (33rd - $275), “carbondating” (21st - $485), “LeshiyAS” (10th - $815), and “OverM1nd” (4th - $3,750).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After “diegoodl1” exited in third place for $5,250, the title came down to “ITonya” and “eltxupacabra” with the latter coming out on top to win $9,500. It was the second win of the year for “eltxupacabra”, who back in March take down the $215 Mega Deep for more than $20K.[/COLOR] [B]“buldos” Compliments XL Eclipse Win with XL Inferno Title[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $8.80 buy-in Event #7: $15,000 Mini Crazy 8 surpassed its GTD with 1,317 players who rebought 606 times. That generated a $15,384 prize pool paid out to the top 160 players including “OPH1UCHUS” (55th - $44.61), XL Inferno Event #3 champ “germaxii” (29th - $56.92), “ImaBarista” (12th - $126.14), and “DaniMarinov” (4th - $1,077).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 10 hours and 8 minutes, Belarus’ “buldos” defeated Latvia’s “PhoenixRuffy” in heads-up play to win $2,770. It was the second XL title for “buldos”, who last September topped a field of 2,021 entries to win the XL Eclipse Event #98: $25,000 Mini Tune Up for $5,118.[/COLOR] [B]Opening Event Champ “psyhoagromor” Denied Second Title By “Kaktus26rus”[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $44 buy-in Event #8: Late Crazy 8 drew 271 players who rebought 71 times. The $15,000 prize pool was paid out to the top 40 spots including “germaxii” (30th - $100), “TboneMunson” (16th - $225), “Kroat”. (9th - $300), “pokerdave128” (4th - $1,200), and “heroes333” (3rd - $1,650).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The title came down to Russia’s “Kaktus26rus” and Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor,” who you might recall beat out a 1,237-entry field to win Event #1: $100,000 Opening Event for more than $22K. Unfortunately for “psyhoagromor,” he was denied a second title as “Kaktus26rus” came out on top to win $2,925.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because “Kaktus26rus” is a three-time from last September’s XL Eclipse. First, "Kaktus26rus" won Event #121: $15,000 Breeze for $3,134, and then he took down Event #152: $100,000 Quarterback for $21,099 after beating World Series of Poker bracelet winner Chris "NigDawG" Brammer heads up. He then topped it off by winning the XL Inferno Event #168: $15,000 Lightining 6-Max for $4,576.[/COLOR] [B]In other new[/B][COLOR=#000000]s[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The Big Fish, which is comprised of six new daily tournaments, continues to impress with $100,000 in guarantees DAILY and buy-ins starting as low as $5.50.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Here’s a look at all those who won Big Fish titles on Saturday:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]-The $5.50 Big Fish drew a 1,249-entry field and ended in a three-way chop between “terz0k” ($906), “Markus103er” ($870), and “badl74” ($765).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- The $33 Big Fish attracted 797 entrants and ended when the UK’s “julhen” struck a deal with Germany’s “BarrelnBink8.” The former got the title and $4,287 in prize money and the latter $3,505 for second place.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- The second $5.50 Big Fish had 2,430 runners and ended after nearly seven hours when Germany’s “777bella” finished as the last player standing for $2,533.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- The $16.50 Big Fish ended after nearly nine hours with Mexico’s “StrbxGrndr” topping a 1,275-entry field to win $3,600.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- The second $33 Big Fish drew 880 entries and ended when “chssk” ($5,132) and “Scaed0815” ($4,542) agreed to a deal.[/COLOR] [B]BIG Sunday Coming Up:[/B] [COLOR=#000000]For online poker, Sunday is the biggest day of the week, and the XL Inferno is no exception.
