888poker XL Autumn Series Main Event

After only an hour of play, the final table of Event #34: $250 Mystery Bounty Main Event at the 888poker XL Autumn Series has come to an end. The players battled it out and chased the bounties, but after the final card was dealt, it was “DantonGomes” who came out on top.

The field made it down to the final three players, who went for a few orbits before proposing a three-handed deal. The players choose to ICM chop the top three prizes and play out the remainder of the tournament for the final three bounties and the title of Main Event Champion.

“DantonGomes” entered the final table in sth place, but they maneuvered their way to the chip lead when the three-handed deal was made. They ran extremely pure and were responsible for five of the seven knockouts on the final table. This should not distract from the fact they also used their chips to apply pressure and push their equity when the time was right.
