On the sixth day of the 888poker XL Inferno Series, three new tournaments were scheduled. Most of the attention went out to the $200,000 High Roller, where some massive prizes were "up for grabs."

XL Inferno #16 - $200,000 High Roller

After more than nine hours of play, XL Inferno #16 - $200,000 High Roller crowned a winner. "MisterN411 claimed the victory and the first prize of $90,063 after beating "trino11" in the deciding heads-up.

This event, with a buy-in of $2,600, saw 84 players register and those players made 47 rebuys to get a total amount of 131 entries. They created a total prize pool of $327,500 with 12 places paid.

It took a while to get into the money but in the end, "InJeBakkes" was the last player finishing empty-handed. That player lost a huge pot with ace-queen against ace-king, with lots of short stacks still in the tournament. After the players reached the money, the tournament was down to a final table pretty quickly.

"TrollKonst8", "FItip4ldI" and Simon "Isildur1337x" Mattsson were eliminated in quick succession, with the latter mentioned losing his stack with king-queen against pocket kings.

Just nine players went to the final table with "trino11" as the chip leader. In fifteen minutes, the field got down to five players. "Biack88" (ninth, $9,825), "maxim2880" (eighth, $11,463), "VALIUM4WIN" (seventh, $13,919) and "PulledPorker" (sixth, $17,194) lost their stacks.

When play reached the final five, players had much more space, and it took a while before another player was sent to the rail. After quite some time, "alwayswin111" lost all of their chips with king-jack against the pocket eights of "trino11". "wellyxx" (fourth, $31,113) busted with king-jack against ace-eight to get the tournament three-handed.

Three-handed lasted a long time, but eventually "cockbandit44" was eliminated in third place for $45,850. The Canadian lost the final all in with king-nine against eight-nine and had to settle for 'bronze.'

Just after the heads up started, "MisterN411" took a big 10:1-lead against "trino11". The Dutch player didn't need much time to secure the victory. In the last hand, pocket kings held against queen-four. "MisterN411" received the first prize of $90,063 while the runner-up had to settle for $60,588.

XL Inferno #17 - $100,000 Mini High Roller

For the players who couldn't afford the biggest buy-in ($2,600) of the day, or needed a (smaller) second chance, there was a Mini edition of the High Roller on the schedule. This tournament had a buy-in of $215, and there were 645 players competing for a prize pool of $129,000. Every finalist in this tournament would secure him- or herself of $2,141 but all eyes were on the top prize of $24,755.

That top prize went to Dutchman "I__AM_ZLATAN" after beating "CalmRevolver" from Russia heads-up. The German runner-up received $18,383.

XL Inferno #18 - $30,000 Late High Roller

The sixth day of the series was closed by the XL Inferno #18 - $30,000 Late High Roller where they went from 260 players to a winner in just six hours and 36 minutes.

In this tournament, Ukraine's "GangstaGo" just fell short for a second XL Inferno title. The Ukrainian won the $100,000 Opening Event but finished in second place in this event for $6,045. No multiple event winner bonus for the Ukranian. Russia's "kassigor" won the event for $8,385.
