Among those to compete for a portion of a $73K prize pool, but ultimately fall short, were Stephen “Kale333” Van Zadelhoff, Chris “NigDawgG” Brammer, and 888poker Ambassador Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Just the top seven players got paid including “wellyxx” (5th - $5,475), “DosPoochies” (4th - $7,300), and “sonmonedass” (3rd - $10,950). After 5 hours and 31 minutes, Austria’s “Kannwas” defeated Sweden’s Simon” Isildur1337x” Mattsson in heads-up play to win $25,550. The Swede walked away with a $16,425 consolation prize.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]You might remember that “Kannwas” won the 2016 Super XL Main Event for nearly $41K and finished runner-up in the 2017 XL Inferno High Roller for $129,600.[/COLOR] [B]Brazil’s “GritinhO_Dzi” Takes Down the Sunday Mega Deep[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep featured a $100K GTD, but with 365 players rebuying 195 times a $112,000 prize pool was up for grabs.

Among the top 27 to get paid were “luffEEE” (26th - $137), “Dablinov” (12th - $240), and “alexos888” (4th - $1,199).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 8 hours and 52 minutes, it was Ireland’s “CheryWaaves” defeating Germany’s “tier999111” in hads-up play to win the tournament for $2,946.[/COLOR] [B]Romania’s “IlovePickles” Weathers the Monsoon to Win $2,784[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon saw 198 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 61 times, which created a $12,950 prize pool paid out to the top 27 spots. Among those to cash were Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (16th - $162), “Jamiemegan12” (6th - $647.50), and “GramNaKartke” (5th - $777).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After “SmoothHustla” bowed out in third place for $1,522, the title came down to Malta’s “wh4tishat3” and Romania’s “IlovePickles.” After exactly seven hours, the latter took down the title and accompanying $2,784 top prize.
