Level 16
: 1,750/3,500, 400 ante
We have a new man pacing the field of this Main Event. The British player "HenryTheVIII" is the first man to make it across the 500,000-barrier, and the royal sounding player could have had 700,000 chips if his 
had bettered the 
of Canada's "alexos888". Ultimately the two players chopped the pot with the same flush as the board ran out 
.

Less than a week ago Canada's Jonathan "chut_up" Van Fleet rose to the top in the $2,100 Super XL High Roller for a score of $87,290. This time around Van Fleet won't be making the money, however, as he just busted from the tournament.
After having just lost an all-in holding 
against the of a shortstacked "Zebest7r", Van Fleet moved in from the small blind for 30,783 chips. "Otkazal" in the big blind made the call, and the tournament life of Van Fleet was left in the hands of the poker gods.
Van Fleet: 
"Otkazal":
The board ran out 
, and with a timely king on the river for "Otkazal", he crushed Van Fleets' dreams of making the unlikely "Double" winning both the High Roller and the Main Event of this 2017 Super XL Series.
