The 888poker Super XL series lived up to its name on Saturday with a super-sized slate of tournaments and $185,000 in guaranteed prize money. All six events easily surpassed the respective guarantees, with three tournaments effectively doubling the guaranteed prize pool.

With so many big tournaments, there was, inevitably, a new frontrunner on the XL Series leaderboard.

‘PuntSonPunt’followed up a second-place performance in Event #4 with a flat-out victory in Event #6, the $215 buy-in “Octopus” event. The win added another $19,000 and change to the Czech player’s bank account and helped him surpass his countryman ‘trojanmouse’ on the leaderboard with 479.2 points to his opponent’s 382.61.

The “Octopus” managed to generate a $99,000 prizepool, but the biggest tournament of the day was the $88 buy-in “Crazy 8” tournament. With 855 players and unlimited rebuys, the event generated a prizepool of $108,160. The top 112 players all cashed and the eventual winner, Fabrizio ‘DrMiKee’ Gonzalez, took home the biggest payday of the day at $20,009.60.

Another notable performances on Saturday was ‘ZDamian’, who final tabled Events 6 and 7, finishing eighth and fourth respectively.

Sunday will feature another busy tournament schedule with a whopping ten events on the schedule, including the $600 buy-in, $250,000 guaranteed“Whale”event and the $160 buy-in “Tune Up”, which also boasts $250,000 in guaranteed prize money. There will also be a number of Turbo and Super Turbo events at a variety of price points. The smallest buy-in of the day is $12 for the “Mini Tune Up”.
