Facebook recently changed the way they handle picture in events. How do i get the event picture after those changes?

Facebook recently changed the way they handle pictures in event. Now you can upload a photo which will be displayed when you post an event to someone's wall or in a group and that you can use as a cover.

How do i get that image?

Before i was using this query

        $fql[$id] =
            "SELECT
                eid,
                name,
                description,
                start_time,
                end_time,
                venue,
                location,
                update_time,
                has_profile_pic,
                pic_big
            FROM
                event
            WHERE
                eid IN ($imploded_eids) AND start_time > $time";

but right now pic_big is returning for most of the events just enter image description here what should i do?

EDIT - i get that image for new events even if i use event_id/picture as you can see from this event 546510352049607/picture which has a cover photo https://www.facebook.com/events/546510352049607/

EDIT2 - i also opened a bug on facebook for this

There is a dedicated field for the cover photo:

pic_cover (struct): Cover picture of Event

SELECT pic_cover FROM event WHERE eid=546510352049607

The pic_cover might give null but this is another problem. Problem solved, otherwise this question is a duplicate.
