Bruno "BrunoF0ster" Foster Registered and Ready to Teach a Lesson

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Bruno Foster
Bruno Foster

888Poker Ambassador Bruno "BrunoF0ster" Foster has now also found his way to this Super XL Series Main Event, and while the Brazilian poker pro is certainly crossing his fingers for a deep run, so is hundreds of viewers on the streaming platform Twitch.tv.

Foster is right now streaming his play from the $1,050 tournament, and because of a five-minute delay, he is able to do it with his own hole cards shown. Foster has been off to a quiet start currently sitting just below starting stack, but his mood is still high. You can follow Foster's progress at www.twitch.tv/gruposuperpoker.

Natalie Hof is also broadcasting her Main Event experience. Take a look at www.twitch.tv/nataliehof.

First Break of the Night

Level 3 : 75/150, 15 ante

The 870 concurrent players just went on their first six-minute break of the night. Best off after the first hour of play is British player "stvD1981", while former EPT winner Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen also have managed to more than double his starting stack of 20,000.

Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar Finds the Early Double

Level 3 : 75/150, 15 ante

Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar opened up the action under the gun for 405, Kabotajoe called in the cutoff before Swedish player "klimpen_2" reraised the button to 1,650.

The blinds quickly got out of the way, and back on Korsar he made it 3,677 total. "Kabotajoe" couldn't quite muster the call, but "klimpen_2" wasn't going anywhere and four-bet to 6,014. Korsar committed the rest of his 16,640 chips and was quickly called.

Johannes Korsar: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
klimpen_2: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Korsar needed to dodge queens, and with the board running out {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} he did just that, and surged to 34,015 chips and the better end of the leader board.

Tough Start For the Ambassadors

Level 2 : 50/100, 10 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Both Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche and Natalie "888natalieH" Hof haven't gotten off to the best start.

Natalie Hof just lost a chunk of chips against the Russian player "edelvez", when the latter flopped trips with {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} on a {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Spades}-flop. Luckily Hof was let off the hook with a single bet on the turn.

Dominik Nitsche haven't had much luck either, and recently had to let go of a pot to table mate Renato "Curioso24" Lezama Nuñez. He did however win some back after his {J-Spades}{5-Spades} turned to top two pair, and the three time WSOP winner is now sitting on just above 18,000.

Level: 2

Blinds: 50/100

Plenty More Profiles Showing Up

Level 1 : 25/50, 5 ante

They keep on registering. In the first ten minutes a hundred more players have taken a seat, and the pace of people joining in on the action just does not seem to slow down.

A few of the best Swedish tournament grinders have just been seated, namely Niklas "tutten7" Astedt and Johannes "Trollkonst8". Some of the Super XL High Roller finalist are also trying their luck in the Main Event, specifically Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen, Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor and runner up Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez.

Finally household names like Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro, Richard "whostoclaim" Trigg, Lawrence "cjacksallin" Cheung and Scott "AggroSantos" Margereson have also paid the $1,050 buy-in up front to receive the 20,000 chips starting stack.
