888poker’s XL Eclipse is headed into the home stretch.

It was another action-packed Wednesday on 888poker as their popular XL Eclipse series hits the final stretch. With over $240,000 in guarantees spread over 13 contests, players got busy taking advantage of juiced prize pools and getting warmed up for the race to the Main Event this weekend.

A pair of Russian players dominated the day’s theme of Eight Max tournaments. ‘Smithstudent’ was the big winner of the day claiming $10,920.80 for his victory in Event #137 ($109 $50,000 8-Max NLHE). His heads-up win came at the expense of PocketFiver Bruno Ribeiro ‘brgomes21’ Gomes who walked away with just over $8,000 for his second-place finish. The “Mini” version of the Eight Max, Event #138 ($12 $10,000 Mini Eight Max NLHE) turned into the largest tournament of the day, drawing 1,190 runners and won by ‘Deeagle’ for over $2,300.

PocketFives.com members earned XL Eclipse titles in a number of events on Tuesday. ‘alexos888’ took down Event #139 ($35 35,000 Wednesday Challenge NLHE). The tournament was one of the best values of the day and brought the Canadian one of the largest paydays of the evening, $8,035.20. PocketFiver ‘BehindSpace’ was the runner-up, taking home a sizable $5,803.20 for his $35 investment.

Yet another Russian player took home the top spot when ‘CalmRevolver’ won Event #132 ($55 $15,000 Breeze NLHE). With his $3,318,52 prize, ‘CalmRevolver’ is knocking on a top-200 Worldwide PocketFives.com ranking and nearly $650,000 in lifetime earning. Additionally, ‘bezfrke’ and ‘drbones666’ also added XL Eclipse championships to their online poker resumes.
