Late Registration Closes in 30 Minutes

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

Even though the tournament has been running for 4,5 hours, this Super XL Main Event is still open for late registration and rebuys for 30 more minutes. The tally right now stands at 1,074 unique participants and 300 rebuys exactly. The guarantee is not yet met despite the almost 1,400 entries, but as we will probably see a surge in rebuys in the next level and a half, the $1,500,000 prize pool might still be topped.

Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen Claws Back Above Average

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen opened the pot with a raise to 3,500 before "jlmcnevin" on the button three-bet to 5,400 total. Both the blinds got out of the way, and the 2012 EPT Madrid winner made the call.

The {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop prompted a check from the Dane and a bet of 7,500 from "jlmcnevin". Jensen called.
The turn {J-Hearts} went check-check, before Jensen put his last 19,700 chips in the middle after the {2-Hearts} river. The opponent made the call holding {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, but couldn't quite beat the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} of Jensen.

This is the first time in more than two hours the Danish player are above 20 big blinds.

Fabrizio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez Gunning for His Fourth Super XL Final Table

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Fabrizio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez have been the talk of the Super XL Series so far with a victory in Event #8 and a 4th place finish in Event #17 before he made it heads up in the Event #28 - Super XL High Roller. The player from Uruguay has been on an absolute tear, and doesn't seem to be slowing down in this Main Event either.

He called a raise out of the big blind holding {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and got his opponent to commit all of the chips holding {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} on a flop of {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. The trips held up for Gonzalez, who now sports a stack of more than double the average.

Break #4

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

The players still in the Main Event are now on their fourth six-minute break of the night. Notable chip counts will follow shortly.

Another Pair of Kings Makes Moorman the Chip Leader

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

888Poker Ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman is currently in the lead of this Super XL Series Main Event after yet another pair of kings found their way to the British player. Moorman raised UTG for 2,522, and after one call Germany's "ureMySpons0r" shoved all-in for 19,961 chips total. Only Moorman called.

ureMySpons0r: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Moorman: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Board ran out without eights, straights or flushes, and Moorman is now the only player above 200,000 chips and thus the top dog to catch.

Chris "888Moorman" Moorman's Kings Holds Up in Multiway All-In Pot

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 125 ante
Chris "888Moorman" Moorman
Chris "888Moorman" Moorman

The action folded around to Chris "888Moorman" Moorman in the cutoff, and the British poker pro made it 2,122 to go. A shortstackd "Greenween" on the button committed his last 1,222 chips, before "poriferum8k" in the small blind reraised to 6,882. Player "ganador2016" made the call out of the big blind before Moorman shoved all-in for 68,416 total - enough to put both of the blinds at risk. "Poriferum8k" folded quickly, but "ganador2016" called it off, and hands were revealed.

"Greenween": {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Moorman: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
"ganador2016": {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Moorman was way ahead, and though the {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop made "GreenWeen" a flushdraw, the turn {3-Spades} and the river {3-Clubs} were both blanks, and just like that Moorman broke the 100k mark.
