Looking to Build on 2019’s Success
In 2019, the XL Blizzard series catered to 38,515 entries over 34 tournaments, which awarded $1,903,474 in prize money.
The $250 Main Event saw 1,783 players rebuy 581 times, which meant the 2,368-entry field created a $543,790 prize pool. Coming out on top of that tournament was Malta’s “.RUIT.HORA.” who laid claim to a $91,847.27 first-place prize.
Meanwhile, Russia’s “plomoor” topped a 954-entry field to win Event #1: $100,000 Opening Event for $16,458.50, while our very own 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman bested a 744-entry field to win Event #10: $100,000 Tune Up for $21,092.40.
