888poker XL Winter #7 - $30,000 8-Max
| Buy-in | Date | Players | Prize pool |
|---|---|---|---|
| $109 | Dec. 12 | 340 | $34,000 |
The 888poker XL Inferno #7 - $30,000 8-Max was the biggest of the three XL Winter events on Saturday with 340 entries ponying up the $109 buy-in. This generated a $34,000 prize pool to crush the $30,000 guarantee.
Half of the eight max final table players were waving Russian flags but after nearly 8 1/2 hours of play, it was a player represented without a country flag at all at 888poker in "maestro1908" that found the winner's circle to claim the $6,630 top prize.
Two Russian players did manage to make it to the podium in this event with "moderator88" taking second place for $4,930 and "Fivebetgamer" snagging the Bronze medal for $3,740.

|---|---|---|---|
| $12 | Dec. 12 | 899 | $10,000 |
The 888poker XL Inferno #8 - $10,000 Mini 8-Max was one of the cheaper events on the schedule featuring a $12 buy-in. Players that cashed in this event were rewarded with extra value as the 899 entrants weren't enough to surpass the $10,000 guarantee.
Serbia's "Djolex91" took the most advantage of the overlay by shipping the event for $1,870 after slightly more than 8 1/2 hours of play. Joining this player on the podium were Russia's "_aspid_" (second - $1,350) and United Kingdom's James "BL1NDRAZOR" Walsh (third - $1,000).

| $55 | Dec. 12 | 274 | $15,000 |
The 888poker XL Inferno #9 - $15,000 Late 8-Max was the final event of the day and was 26 entries short of meeting its $15,000 guarantee with 274 entrants participating.
The flag of Belarus was waving in the winner's circle with "RakDoll" taking down the 6 1/2 hour event for $3,038 after besting "KiddPT" in heads-up play. This makes three winners from Belarus out of the first nine events when taking into account that two different players from Belarus won two different XL Winter events Friday night.
Notable players at the final table included United Kingdom's Charlie "chazcombes" Combes (fourth - $1,275) and Brazil's Tauan "kylix42" Naves (eighth - $413).
