For the players in another time zone, 888poker organized the XL Eclipse #52 - $20,000 Americas. The tournament, with a buy-in of $160, started at 12:59 a.m. GMT and 83 players took their chances in this event. They paid for 59 rebuys to create a total prize pool of $21,300.
After just more than eight hours, when the sun was already up and shining in most countries, the tournament reached the final stages. Danish player "Mekaljevic" won the tournament and secured himself of the first prize of $5,858.
On the third day of the 888poker XL Eclipse Series, 11 new tournaments started.
Most of the attention went to the $2,100 High Roller, where the best players in the world competed for the first prize of $107,500! Let's take a look at this tournament and the results of the other events that played out on Tuesday.
XL Eclipse #36 - $500,000 High Roller
After more than 11 hours of play, Event #36 - $2,100 XL Eclipse High Roller finally crowned a winner. Roman "Romeopro33" Romanovskyi from Ukraine claimed the victory and the first-place prize after beating "lacibaby64" in the deciding heads-up.
This event, with a buy-in of $2,100, saw 171 players register and those players made 72 rebuys to get a total amount of 243 players. 888poker guaranteed at least $500,000 so there was a bit of an overlay. The prize pool was $500,000 with 27 places paid. Familiar faces like Anton "anteen" Bertilsson, Mike "SirWatts" Watson, Chris "888Moorman" Moorman, Scott "AggroSantos" Margereson and Fabricio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez missed out on making the money.
The bubble didn't take that long, after "OMGsete" lost with pocket sevens against the pocket eights of "AlexMax15". After the players reached the money, it went pretty quickly to a final table. On the bubble of the final table, Canadian "SleepinAwake" was the shortest stack with ten left and he went all in with ace-nine. Big stack Roman "Romeopro33" Romanovskyi found ace-queen and saw his hand hold. "SleepinAwake" finished in tenth place for $8,750 while the remaining nine players were moved to the official final table.
On the final table, "AriGold17" exited in ninth place for $10,000 after losing with ace-jack against king-queen. "AlexMax15" (eighth, $15,000) followed him to the rail after busting with king-ten against ace-eight. The remaining seven players played for a while before "2pacnrw16" (seventh, $20,000) and Nicholas "PKaiser" Fierro busted in quick succession.
Dutchman "Poker86ss" busted in fifth place after losing with two pair against the straight of "allesrigged". The final four players played together for a while before "allesrigged" lost his chips with ace-queen against the five-three of Simon "Isildur1337x" Matsson. He had to settle for fourth place and he received a prize of $43,750.
With three players left, once again it took a while before someone busted. Then, from the small blind, Romanovskyi put all the pressure on Matsson in the big blind. Matsson called with ace-eight and was in front against the ten-four of his opponent. Ukraine's Romanovskyi flopped a ten, turned a four and won the hand to bust Matsson in third place for $48,750.
Romanovskyi started the heads-up with even stacks, but in just a few minutes he took full control. In one of the first big hands, he secured himself of this victory and the first prize of $107,500. In the last hand, he won with king-queen against queen-nine on a queen high board.

Sunday was a good day for tournament players. It marked the start of the latest edition of the 2017 XL Eclipse Series on the second largest online poker room, 888poker. On the first day of the series, 16 tournaments started. Here are the results.

After 11 hours the remaining nine players made the final table and went on to play for a $58,270 first prize. Ukraine's "Ignatiik" left the final table pretty quick after losing a big hand with ace-queen against ace-jack. A few hands later he busted in ninth place for $3,726.
"GetLuckyAK" from Canada wasn't so lucky on this final table and in his last hand, he lost all of his chips with pocket eights against pocket nines. The Canadian finished in eighth place for $6,555. After that, British players "HindaKrush" and "Binkasaurus" got busted in quick succession, finishing in seventh and sixth place.
