After almost eleven hours of play, XL Blizzard #10 - $100,000 Tune Up finally crowned a winner. And it wasn't just someone as 888poker Ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman claimed the victory and the first prize of $21,092 after beating "Kroat." in the deciding heads-up.

The event, with a buy-in of $160, saw 539 players register and those players made 205 rebuys to get a total amount of 744 entries. They created a total prize pool of $111,600 with 72 places paid. It took a while to get to the money but in the end, "Mooseman306" was the last player finishing empty-handed.

After making the money, it took a long time before the tournament got down to the last nine. After nine hours, the remaining nine players made the final table and went on to play for a $21,092 first prize.

For "Mootter" (ninth - $1,707), "CKLouis" (eight - $2,511) and "Ana AnaMarquez Marquez" (seventh - $3,627) it wasn't a big success on the final table, because they left quite early.

Not much later, "LprMessiah" finished in sixth place for $4,743. He or she was followed to the rail by "Assad91" (fifth - $6,026) and "Michael wywrotx Wywrot" (fourth - $8,593).

Having received the PocketFives Legacy Award during the Global Poker Awards, Chris "888Moorman" Moorman probably already had a great weekend. He went on to dominate the Tune Up. He took a commanding chip lead against two opponents and won almost every pot played. "Kondogbia" was busted by the chip leader and had to settle for third place ($11,383.) It didn't take much time to get a final decision, and "Kroat." had to settle for second place ($15,457).
