On the ninth day of the XL Inferno Series on 888poker, players could compete in three new tournaments with the XL Inferno #25 - $25,000 Knockout as the highlight of the day. The $35 buy-in Mini edition and a $75 buy-in Late edition were also on the schedule. Let's take a look at the results.

The biggest winner on Day 9 was crowned in the XL Inferno #25 - $25,000 Knockout. In this tournament, there were 249 players, creating a prize pool of $35,209. This money was divided to the final 36 players, with every finalist getting $475.

After "EduardoGarlo" busted in 10th place, the tournament reached the final table. First, "profit76" left the building after busting in ninth place ($475+$287) and the Romanian was followed by "bienemajo" (eighth, $625+$369), "Kaktus26rus" (seventh, $875+$41), "alexos888" (sixth, $1,125+$246) and "billycadu14" (fifth, $1,450+$287).

Shortly after, "onyvapapaa1" from Switzerland busted in third place and received a prize of $2,825 plus $369 in KO's. The final heads-up between "HateH4teHate" and "omgpatbrooks" started, but not before the two players made a deal for most of the prize money.

For the players who didn't have the bankroll to play the $150 event, or wanted to multi-table, there was also a Mini edition with a buy-in of just $35. In total, 543 players competed in this event which made for a $19,073 prize pool with the first prize just over $2,835.

"LackOfStack"(eight, $338+$30), "foldaisso999" (seventh, $488+$83), "Ladzsos" (sixth, $638+$45) and "79maravilla" (fifth, $810+$90) were also eliminated in quick succession.
