888poker Ambassadors Look Forward to XL Eclipse

Level 7 : 250/500, 60 ante

As per usual, plenty of big names in poker will be competing for XL Eclipse titles during the series, including 888poker ambassadors Chris Moorman, Martin Jacobson and Dominik Nitsche.

Moorman, who now resides in Las Vegas, told 888 he will be playing most of the series from Mexico.

“It’s a good time zone to play which gives you a chance to go out in the morning for a workout as well as being able to go for dinner at the end of the day. I usually travel with a monitor, which helps me to be able to play more tables. I will be studying in the next few weeks to feel better prepared as well.”

Moorman recently captured his 29th online Triple Crown and plans to play events with buy-ins ranging from $30 to the $2,600 High Roller.

Jacobson, who plans to play between six and nine with buy-ins of $100 and up, will be focused on keeping his body and mind right as he grinds the series from his home in London.

“I never travel for online series simply because if I did, I would never be home,” Jacobson said. “I have a pretty good setup at my house with a gym and office all in the same room. My routine will be strategic for long days/nights behind the screen and consist of meditation, running, moving, meal prepping, supplementation, and recovery techniques.”

Nitsche, who chopped the $1,050 buy-in Main Event two years ago when it was called the Super XL Series IV, looks to improve upon past results, but will have to do so after he is finished playing the Poker Masters in Las Vegas, which runs from Sept. 7-13. Though he may have to miss some early events, Nitsche is determined to fire his fair share of XL tournaments.

“I'll try to play as much as I can, but I don't have a schedule yet as I’m quite busy,” said Nitsche. “I will most likely play all the higher buy-ins though, and I'd love to take down the Main Event this time. I chopped it before, and I really want to do better.”

After two hours, there have been over 700 entries. Late registration is still open for another two hours so the $100,000 guarantee should not be a problem.
