After several hours of play, the tournament dwindled down to nine players who made for the official final table. In quick succession, the tournament lost "IBetUfold_x" (ninth, $1,347) and the two Russian finalists: "EmmaLynx" (eight, $1,847) and "MAMOHT_T" (seventh, $2,616).

With six players left, the tension rose. Romanian "Ph4N888" couldn't stand the heat and finished in sixth place for $3,386.

The last German standing, "HomoDeus", didn't stay much longer and had to settle for fifth place and a prize of $4,386. Former winner "eltxupacabra" was chasing his or her second title of the week, but just fell short finishing in fourth place for $6,348.

The remaining three players were all guaranteed at least $8,465, but with one more jump they would get at least a five-figure score. Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar was the final player who missed out on the heads up and ended in third place for $8,465.

The final two players, "KimberSlice" and "PBD03" didn't make a deal and played for it all. In the end, Canada's "PBD03" got the victory and the first prize of $14,890. Runner-up "KimberSlice" just missed the title and had to settle for second place ($11,158).

XL Inferno #23 - $25,000 Mini Quarterback

For the players who couldn't afford the buy-in of $215 for the regular Quarterback on Day 8 of the XL Inferno Series, there was a Mini edition of the Quarterback on the schedule. To compete in this tournament, players had to pay $44. In total, 583 players did just that and 319 rebuys were made for a total of 902 entries.

That created a total prize pool of $26,510, getting divided over the last 81 players.

The most money was up for grabs on the final table, where every finalist got at least $398. All the attention went to the first prize of $5,008, which went to United Kingdom's winner "11BRS11".
