Niklas "tutten7" Astedt Crippled by Quads

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante

Niklas "tutten7" Astedt made it 7,000 to go from first position and British "buddychoc" moved in over the top for a total of 50.590. Back on Astedt he made the call, and got the bads news when both hands were tabled.

"buddychoc":{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Astedt: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Whatever chances the {3-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop left Astedt was completely demolished by the {J-Hearts} on the turn, and the number one ranked online tournament player of the world was left drawing dead going into the river.

Astedt was left with about 12 big blinds.

The Rich Gets Richer

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante

British player "Juanfran1973" moved all-in preflop for 37,402 and only Andreas "r4ndomr4gs" Berggren could muster a call. Berggren's {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} were miles ahead the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} of his opponent, and five cards later the pot was awarded to the Swede, who now have surpassed 350,000.

The Final Numbers Are In: $262,200 For the Winner

Level 14 : 1,250/2,500, 300 ante

After five hours of late registrations and rebuys, the doors has finally been shut closed for the 2017 Super XL Series Main Event.

1.096 unique entrants have graced this tournament with their presence, and between them, they made 344 rebuys. With 888Poker guaranteeing a prize pool of $1,500,000, there will be a massive $262,200 for the eventual winner, while 144 players will walk away with money in their account from this exciting tournament.

326 are still in contention for the victory, but with the option of rebuy gone, players are expected to bust left, right and center these next hours. Hang on tight, PokerNews will, of course, report until the very last river card has been dealt in this $1,050 Main Event.

Late Rebuy for Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

Swedish Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar just made use of the option for a rebuy after running {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} into the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} of Russia's "KsyushaM". A rebuy of 20,000 chips equals 10 big blinds at this point of the tournament, and that's exactly what Korsar got after paying another entry of $1,050.
