It took almost 14 hours of action before Brazilian Francisco "chiconogue" Nogueira bagged the top spot, taking home $57,826 from the XL Eclipse Main Event by 888poker.
XL Eclipse #32 - $500,000 Main Event
- Date: September 22, 2019 (Sunday) 5pm
- Buy-in: $250
- Players: 1,647 and 517 re-entries
- Prizepool: $508,540
The $250 buy-in XL Eclipse Main Event was a smashing success, with the original $500,000 guarantee attracting a total of 1,647 players and 517 re-entries that in the end generated a prize pool of $508,540. There were 207 players who were in the money for at least a minimum cash prize of $559.
Chris Moorman leads the 888poker Ambassadors
888poker ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman fired a total of 4 bullets in this event and he needed 90th place or better to gain a profit. He did exactly just that, by settling at 90th place for $1,017 (just a $17 profit) when his Q-K couldn't beat the Q-Ace held by UK player "GusKi14".
Overall there were five 888poker ambassadors who joined in the event. Aside from Moorman, Sofia "sofialovgren" Lovgren, Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche, Ana "AnaMarquez" Marquez, and 2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Martin "MJacobson888" Jacobson joined in on the fray, but were all ousted within the first blind level after late registration ended.
After a four-way deal was struck, in the end the biggest cash prize winner was Russian "si1entb0b" who settled in 3rd place for $61,622.
The final hand saw:
amaze1 held 7 and 8 of diamonds
chiconogue had 9 and J of diamonds
The board ran out 6-7-4-4-9, which gave chiconogue a better pair and made him the last man standing.
