The 2010 Chile earthquake did not tip the Earth. The earthquake was large and caused some changes in the Earth's axis and rotation speed, but these changes were very small and not noticeable to humans.
The 1st tremor larger than magnitude 5.0 was at 06:34 UTC on Feb 27,2010 measuring 8.8 on the Richter Scale. It lasted about 3 minutes. It has suffered many aftershocks 6 larger than mag 6.0.
