Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: July 9, 2017
Brazil’s Mathias “joao_mathias” Baumgarten Takes Down The Whale
The biggest buy-in of the weekend, the $1,050 The Whale, offered up a $121,000 prize pool after 95 players took to the felt and accounted for 26 rebuys. The top 12 spots were paid, with “root4deuces” and Jack “lrdvoldemort” O’Neill missed out on the final table by finishing 12th and 11th respectively, both for $3,025.
Making an appearance at the final table was “jnevanli,” who finished in eighth place for $4,235. If that name sounds familiar it’s probably because you remember him as the winner of the 888 Super XL Series VI Main Event for $182,635.
In the end, Brazil’s Mathias “joao_mathias” Baumgarten emerged as champion to win $33,275. The win comes just two months after the Brazilian topped a field of 1,108 players to win the XL Inferno Event #49: $35,000 Wednesday Challenge for $8,642.
Germans Battle It Out in Mega Deep
The July 9 edition of the $215 buy-in $80,000 Mega Deep saw 409 players take to the virtual felt, and after just shy of 13 hours Germany’s “CllsDntMttr” defeated fellow countryman “aryL86” in heads-up play to win $15,697.
Others to cash the event were “popsnpoker” (4th for $6,544), “FL1PM4ST3R” (9th for $1,357.88), and “Fukuruku” (31st for $490.80).
A Trio of Brits in Mini Mega Deep
As for the $22 buy-in Mini Mega Deep, the $30,000 guarantee was surpassed when 1,247 players accounted for 574 rebuys to create a $36,420 prize pool. The final table contained three players from the UK, and one of them, “JBHInfinity,” walked away with the title and $6,191grand prize.
The other two UK players were “dyetii” and “Roden.H,” who finished third and fifth for $3,456 and $1,802 respectively.
“ImJ01” Takes Down Sunday Lightning
The $109 buy-in $20,000 Sunday Lightning 6-Max attracted 162 players who accounted for 82 rebuys, which created a $24,400 prize pool. That was distributed to the top 18 players including “alexxabest” (15th for $317.20), “DeepInCidurr” (8th for $793), and “Sarkus89” (4th for $2,074).
After 10 hours and six minutes, “ImJ01” defeated “HuliVamNadaA” in heads-up play to take down the $6,344 top prize. Back on October 16 of last year, “ImJ01” bested a field of 251 players to win the $20,000 Sunday Tornado for $7,648.
Former WSOP Main Event Champ Cashes Sunday Breeze
The $55 buy-in $20,000 Sunday Breeze drew 481 runners, which surpassed the advertised guarantee by creating a $24,050 prize pool. Among those to finish in the top 63 and earn a payday were 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Pius “AMasta89” Heinz (58th for $105.82), “heyfreddy” (16th for $192.40), and “GoFighTer” (10th for $288.60).
It took a little more than eight hours, but eventually Norway’s “naien123” beat “greenseer1” to lay claim to the $1,875.90 first-place prize.
What to watch out for:
The “Champion-Chips” micro series, which will feature buy-ins ranging from $1-$50, is right around the corner!
For the second year in a row, 18 events from July 23-30 will offer $150,000 in guaranteed prizes.
For eight days leading up to “Champion-Chips,” from July 15-22 to be exact, we will be running qualifiers at 12:05, 18:05 and 23:35 GMT every day.
Each qualifier awards 50 seats to its corresponding “Champion-Chips” Series Tournament.

I know I am about to contact the 888 support by phone but I'm not going to do that yet. I want to see how much can time can this site let me wait until they will actually approve and make the cash transfer. It's been 2 days already still in "waiting to process" state. If this is the fastest cash out site i'm disappointed.

It's probably too late to do anything about it, but I just now noticed I never received my ticket for the $1000 Free Casino Mix-Up tomorrow.
There is no doubt I qualify, I've been playing a ton of casino games every day this week as I was trying to complete another level.

Ivan “nomoney4ever” Banic Struck by Lightning
On Sunday, the $109 buy-in, $20,000 guaranteed Sunday Lightning drew 148 players who accounted for 83 rebuys. That created a $23,100 prize pool that was distributed to the top 18 players. Among those to walk away with some cash were Emil “Ejsenhoven1” Ohlsson (18th for $300.30), “ESTRATEGA18” (13th for $300.30), and Japan’s “IamKenji1967” (8th for $750.75).

Banic currently sits fourth on Croatia’s all-time poker money list with $342,057 in live tournament earnings, which includes $253,375 and a gold ring for winning the 2016 World Series of Poker International Circuit King’s Rozvadov Main Event.

Likewise, “IamKenji1967” just missed out on his second final table of the day finishing 11th for $1,040.
In the end, Austria’s “Jupp_shippts” defeated “mil3n4o0” in heads-up play to win the title and a $15,352 top prize. Back in April, “Jupp_shippts” defeated a field of 139 players to win the $5,000 Deepstack Monsoon for $1,598.
AUK’s “FatStacksY0” Captures Baby Whale

After Ukraine’s “filonenkoap” bowed out in third place, Germany’s “DerEinzahlR” and Lithuania’s “Ibeturaise2x” battled it out in heads up play. In the end, the former came out on top to take down $6,450 while the latter had to settle for a $4,650 consolation prize.
Back in May, “Ibeturaise2x” finished 7th in the XL Inferno Main Event for $51,772, while in April of last year “DerEinzahlR” finished second in the $100,000 Mega Deep for $20,477.89 after a heads-up deal with “BenGvnn.”

In the end, Sweden’s “SkallePer58” defeated Canada’s “toro_56_56” in heads-up play to claim the $7,500 top prize. The final table was reminiscent of the June 11 Turbo Mega Deep, which saw “SkallePer58” and “Oduvanchik15” battle for the title. In that contest, the latter came out on top to win $9,589.

Hello everyone,
Just moments before we crown our next WSOP Main Event Champion, we wanted to remind you there’s always a losing side…
Check out this fascinating piece by Michael Kaplan, with his thoughts on finishing in 2nd place.
“When I interviewed poker icon Stu Ungar, just months before his motel-room death in 1998, he told me that he had no tolerance for second place.
He likened anything but first place, in just about anything, to being synonymous with losing and finishing at the bottom.
“People tell me that I should be a good loser,” he explained, enjoying a brief moment of clarity before he sunk back into the narcotic haze that dogged him for much of his later life.
“But if you’re a good loser, you’re still a loser. It’s not something that I can ever take.” “

Now I received an incident e-mail saying that the transfer could not be completed. so after 8 working days from my request I receive this bad news and now I need to figure out with them a way to make it work. It's weird no one ever gets into trouble while depositing but you always get into trouble while cashing out.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: July 23, 2017
Jonathan Van Fleet Denied Whale Title by “ribamech15”
The biggest buy-in event of the weekend, the $1,050 Whale, surpassed its guarantee by $30K as 108 players accounted for 42 rebuys to create a $150,000 prize pool. Among the 15 players to earn part of it were “S.Janowski” (15th for $3,150), “mvp2b” (6th for $7,875), “Imyurfriend” (4th for $13,875), and “luckyr1ver” (4th for $13,875).
After nearly nine hours, it was Russia’s “ribamech15” who prevailed over Canada’s Jonathan “chut_up” Van Fleet to win $37,500. It marked the second win in seven weeks for “ribamech15,” who on June 2 won the Crocodile for $3,300.
“Nikas3274” Wins Monsoon for Second Time in Six Weeks
The $55 buy-in, $20,000 guarantee Monsoon attracted 487 players and created a $24,350 prize pool. Some of the 63 players to cash were “Mr.Fonzi” (39th for 121.75), “T.NAPOLEAO” (15th for $243.50), Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (5th for $1,339.25), and “vitola99” (4th for $1,899.30).
After seven hours and 21 minutes, the tournament came down to Germany’s “durrrrchfall” and Russia’s “Nikas3274,” and it was the latter who prevailed to claim a $4,626 prize. It marked the second time in less than two months that “Nikas3274” won the Monsoon, having done so on June 8 by topping a field of 299 players for $2,673.
“gioriz” Wins Turbo Mega Deep
The $215 buy-in Turbo Mega Deep attracted 138 players who accounted for 54 rebuys, which surpassed the $30K GTD by creating a $38,400 prize pool. Among the 18 players to get paid were Sweden’s Robin “Inho” Ylitalo (17th for $787.20), “Annyjar” (11th for $864), “floatmasta” (7th for $1,536), and Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (4th for $3,456), who was at his second major final table of the day.
Given it was a turbo event, it took “gioriz”, just over four hours to take down the $8,832 first-place prize.
“kiskutya23” Rides a Lightning Bolt
On Sunday, the $109 buy-in Sunday Lightning drew 168 players who accounted for 108 rebuys. That surpassed the advertised $20,000 guarantee by creating a $27,600 prize pool, which was distributed among the top 24 finishers. Among those to cash were XL Inferno Event #155 champ “Fukuruku” (19th for 262.20), “MacGyver888” (11th for $483), and “prebzzz” (5th for $1,794).
After seven hours and 43 minutes of play, “kiskutya23” bested “GramNaKartke” in heads-up play to capture a top prize of $4,567.80. It was a bit of redemption, or at least a nice score, for “GramNaKartke,” who back in May stone bubbled the XL Inferno $2,100 High Roller. As for “kiskutya23,” it was another win following his March 23rd victory in the 2,000 Super Turbo Swordfish.
Kafrou “Kafrou” Thessaloni Slays Crocodile for Greece
Another tournament that surpassed its guarantee on Sunday was the $160 buy-in Crocodile. Instead of the $25K GTD, a $34,500 prize pool was on tap as 230 players took to the virtual felt. Just 36 players earned a piece of it including “MalakiasCF” (31st for $258.75), the aforementioned “Fukuruku” (27th for $293.25), XL Infernon Mega Deep runner-up “cuadrado12” (6th for $1,552.50), and Brazil’s “R.nahntanoJ” (3rd for $3,898.50).
In the end, Greece’s Kafrou “Kafrou” Thessaloni beat out Sweden’s “IAmWelfare” to win the title and a $7,055.25 first-place prize.
What to watch out for:
The “Champion-Chips” micro series, which features buy-ins ranging from $1-$50, kicked off on Sunday and will host 18 events with $150,000 in guaranteed prize prizes through July 30. Simply look under “Tournaments” to find the “ChampionChips” tab for all events and satellites.

So ... after a lot of headaches 888 couldn't send me my cash because I have an account in Euro and they can only send in RON(my country currency). But it's the exact same account from where I have deposited the cash in the first place. So the only way is for me to create another bank account in RON in order to cash out. And you guys say this is the number 1 site for cashing out or any cash transfer? I don't ever want to be a part of this freaking nonsense again. This is a good commercial for a regular poker site ... nothing is fast in cashing out.

While streaming on his popular Twitch channel, 888poker Ambassador Parker “tonkaaaa” Talbot had a heck of a day online, which included four final tables and a win in the Sunday Crocodile, one of 888poker’s premiere tournaments.
The $160 buy-in, $30,000 GTD Crocodile attracted 213 players, which created a $31,950 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 27 players including Sebastian “p000cket000” Sikorski (18th for $399.37), Doug “PulledPorker” Lang (14th for $479.25), XL Inferno Octopus champ “SoulRead88uk” (9th for $639), and “Ibeturaise2x” (3rd for $3,754.12).
After 9 hours and 19 minutes, Talbot emerged victorious over Greece’s “foldthedraws,” who earned a $4,952.25 consolation prize. As for Talbot, his win came with a $6,869 payday.”
All told, Talbot cashed for $14,000 on Sunday, and as he said on Twitter:

“En|1ght” Bests Mike “D0nkeyKong” Bailey to Win Mega Deep
The $215 buy-in, $100,000 GTD Mega Deep, which features a new and improved structure, attracted 491 runners, of which 64 got paid including two-time XL Inferno champ “PokerMogo” (31st for $650), Troy “S.Janowski” Quenneville (18th for $870), and “jtbl2f” (5th for $5,000).
After “mustbez” and Michael “OneH1tWonder” Cano fell in fourth and third place respectively, Canada’s Mike “D0nkeyKong” Bailey and Russia’s “En|1ght” engaged in a heads-up battle. After 11 hours and 14 minutes, the latter prevailed to capture a $19,000 top prize.
Ravi “Boogleman” Shaymardanov Books Two Wins in Three Days
The $55 buy-in $10,000 GTD Sunday Monsoon easily surpassed its guarantee by attracting 305 players, which created a $15,250 prize pool. Among the 45 players to earn a portion of it were “BetShove” (42nd for $91.50), “IAmWelfare” (25th for $114.37), “E_Dub” (8th for $366), “n0sferatv” (7th for $518.50), and “vonBaranow” (3rd for $1,677.50).
In the end, Russia’s Ravi “Boogleman” Shaymardanov bested Hungary’s “HammHammm” in heads-up play to capture the title and $2,950.87 in prize money. It marked the second win in three days for Shaymardanov after he took down Friday’s $22 buy-in $1,500 GTD Deep Stack for $505.
WSOP Bracelet Winner Cashes Sunday Lightning
The $109 buy-in Sunday Lightning drew 175 players who accounted for 103 rebuys. That surpassed the advertised $20,000 guarantee by creating a $27,800 prize pool, which was distributed among the top 24 finishers. Among those to earn some cash were Michael “AcesJoker88” Acevedo (20th for $264.10), 2016 Super XL Series Main Event champ “Gr33nApples” (14th for $347.50), and Chris “NigDawG” Brammer (8th for $834).
Brammer is barely a moth removed from topping a field of 505 players to win the 2017 World Series of Poker Event #45: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em for $527,555 and his first gold bracelet.
After just over eight hours, the title came down to Russia’s “powerpoke99” and the UK’s “pketazezbaby.” The latter ended up coming out on top to capture a $6,672 top prize. Back in March, “pketazezbaby” finished runner-up in the $20,000 Saturday Challenge for $3,309.
“LeshiyAS” Turns $30 Swordfish Buy-In Into $5K Prize
With 1,018 players, the $30 buy-in $25,000 Deepstack Swordfish surpassed its guarantee by creating a prize pool of $27,995. Among the players to go deep were XL Inferno Eent #197 champ “Mindcrushers” (32nd for $109.18), “Jishington” (18th for $153.97), “Scampi76” (7th for $839.85), and “firefish” (3rd for $2,687.52.
After a marathon 11 hours and 15 minutes – remember, this was a deepstack event – Estonia’s “LeshiyAS” bested Croatia’s “UNSTOPPABLE1” to win $5,039. It’d been a long time since “LeshiyAS” graced the top of the payouts. In May 2015, he came out on top of a 152-player field to win the $25 buy-in $2,500 GTD DeepStack for $771.42.
One thing is for sure, “LeshiyAS” knows how to turn a small buy-in into big scores.
