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.

"Reggie_Degen" was the final table and Day 2 bubble on the wrong end of a cooler. Most of the damage happened when they got their ace-queen in against the ace-king of "D.Bogachev" and couldn't find a miracle. That left them with barely 100,000 chips and they busted the next hand to set up the final table.

"Dan_nofx54" shoved the small stack over a button raise from "D.Bogachev" with suited gappers, but couldn't find the cards against ace-high. Play is now hand-for-hand to the final table and Day 2.
