"bloodny" Leads the Way into Day 2 of 888poker's XL Winter Series Event #43: $500,000 Main Event

Level 45 : 150,000/300,000, 37,500 ante

The final nine players in 888poker's XL Winter Series Event #43: $500,000 Main Event have now been set, and Russian player "bloodny" is the big chip leader going into Day 2 with almost 17.5 million. They played their way through a big starting field of 2,326 entries to have the best shot at what's left of the $546,610 prize pool.

They will be joined on Day 2 by two other players with more than 10 million chips, Lithuanian "Eg1D1" and fellow Russian player "D.Bogachev". Also in the final nine is famed Irish poker pro and author Dara "Doked" O'Kearney. Having just recently written the book on ICM, O'Kearney will be looking to apply that knowledge for Day 2 and the big pay jumps.
