Even though the tournament has been running for 4,5 hours, this Super XL Main Event is still open for late registration and rebuys for 30 more minutes. The tally right now stands at 1,074 unique participants and 300 rebuys exactly. The guarantee is not yet met despite the almost 1,400 entries, but as we will probably see a surge in rebuys in the next level and a half, the $1,500,000 prize pool might still be topped.

The action folded around to Chris "888Moorman" Moorman in the cutoff, and the British poker pro made it 2,122 to go. A shortstackd "Greenween" on the button committed his last 1,222 chips, before "poriferum8k" in the small blind reraised to 6,882. Player "ganador2016" made the call out of the big blind before Moorman shoved all-in for 68,416 total - enough to put both of the blinds at risk. "Poriferum8k" folded quickly, but "ganador2016" called it off, and hands were revealed.

Moorman was way ahead, and though the flop made "GreenWeen" a flushdraw, the turn and the river were both blanks, and just like that Moorman broke the 100k mark.
