Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.


THIS WEEK: January 14, 2017

The Netherlands’ “tmurdaha” Wins Mega Deep

The latest $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep on 888poker, which featured a $100K GTD, drew 395 players who rebought 127 times. That created a $104,400 prize pool that was distributed to the top 56 players.

Among those to claim a piece of it were Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (29th - $699.48), Fabrizio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez (18th - $1,012.68), Kenny “SpaceyFCB” Hallaert (12th - $1,701.72), Super XL chamap “_rudinhos_” (6th - $3,654), and “OINKOinkOink” (3r - $10,962).

After 11 hours and 15 minutes, the title came down to the UK’s “BigPIDG” and the Netherlands’ “tmurdah.” In the end, the latter prevailed to win the $19,836 top prize. Back on September 26, you might recall “tmurdah” won the $12,000 Crocodile for $3,465.


Vintage Mega Deep Champ “Mowlschbazd” Wins GREAT 8 Title

This week’s $88 buy-in, $40,000 GTD GREAT 8 attracted 402 players who rebought 159 times. That generated a $44,880 prize pool that was paid out to the top 56 spots including “Ezreaal” (32nd - $300.69), “Nemekiss” (18th - $435.33), and final table bubble “Yzw42_”.

Some familiar faces at the final table were “CasinoPro888” (7th - $1,122), “Gagagawa” (4th - $3,366), and “EyeofSkadi” (3rd - $4,712.40). After 9 hours and 11 minutes, Germany’s “Mowlschbazd” bested the UK’s “BadModafoka1” to capture an $8,527.20 first-place prize.

We don’t hear much from “Mowlschbazd” these days, but way back in October 2013, he outlasted a field of 601 players to take down the $120,000 Mega Deep for $32,015.


Argentina’s Joaquin “JoaquinRuiz” Ruiz is Up for the Challenge

The $109 buy-in, $50K GTD Sunday Challenge brought 427 players to the virtual felt. They accounted for 179 rebuys, which saw the prize pool grow to $60,600. Among the 56 players to cash were “ZDamian” (36th - $333.30), Robin “Inho” Ylitalo (27th - $406.02), “SteveyBG” (15th - $781.74), “vanPingelen” (8th - $1,212), and “s3c3_1978” (3rd - $6,363).

In the heads-up match, Sweden’s Andreas “KURDEdersim” Samuelsson held a big chip lead over Argentina’s Joaquin “JoaquinRuiz” Ruiz. However, the Argentinean managed to double, take the chip lead, and complete the comeback after 9 hours and 31 minutes. Samuelsson padded his bankroll by $8,484, while Ruiz laid claim to the $11,514 first-place prize.

A couple years ago, Ruiz won the $10,000 Monsoon for $1,905, while in the live realm he’s amassed $175,889 in earnings. That includes a career-high $147,773 for finishing third in the 2014 BSSOP Sao Paulo Main Event.


Sebastian “p000cket000” Sikorski Wins Turbo Mega Deep in 255 Minutes

It only took 4 hours and 15 minutes for this week’s $215 buy-in, $15K GTD Turbo Mega Deep, which crushed its guarantee by drawing 81 players who rebought 34 times. That created a $23K prize pool paid out to the top 12 places. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were “TopBeaver69” (12th), “Nemekiss” (11th), and “Ramster14” (10th), each cashing for $632.50.

Among the players to make the final table were “CalmRevolver” (9th - $632.50), Andreas “KURDEdersim” Samuelsson (7th - $977.50), “plomaha” (4th - $2,185), and “TomBrady17” (3rd - $3,220). In the end, Canada’s Sebastian “p000cket000” Sikorski defeated Brazil’s “keyhell” to claim the title and $6,267.50 first-place prize.

Back on December 14, Sikorski won the $15,000 GREAT 8 for $3,514, and back in December he took down the XL Eclipse Event #13: $50,000 Turbo Mega Deep for $10,648.

“CoinShipper” Finds Redemption with Monsoon Win

The $55 buy-in Sunday Monsoon boasted a $15K GTD, but that was easily surpassed as 295 players rebought 66 times to create an $18,050 prize pool. The top 45 got paid including “8tama8” (31st - $117.32), “Kamooooon” (15th - $225.62), and “abmarin” (10th - $270.75).

Five players at the final table earned four-figure scores including “MommyTosier” (5th - $1,028.85), “YoureMagical” (4th - $1,489.12), and “root4deuces” (3rd - $1,985.50). After 7 hours and 9 minutes, the UK’s “summuNNN” fell to Russia’s “CoinShipper,” giving them $2,617.25 and $3,492.67 in prize money respectively.

It was a bit of redemption for “CoinShipper,” who last January finished runner-up in the $15,000 Crocodile for $4,440 and then in September placed second in the XL Eclipse Event #99: $45,000 Sunday Monsoon for $6,956.

Is the $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up for depositors only?

I have played a slot on Thursday. I have searched through the promo page for any pertinent information (or any mention of the promo) to no avail. I have no ticket in my account. The lobby/sign-up for the tournament says only that one must play a casino game on Thursday before registering between 11:00 and noon (start time) on Saturday.


Will I be wasting my time to try and register for this at 11:00 tomorrow morning?

Synopsis: The first day of the 888poker XL Blizzard kicked off in a big way when the
Netherlands’ Jan “Graftekkel” Arends took down the Opening Event for more than $17K. By
doing so, he became the first player ever to win both XL Eclipse and Blizzard titles. Meanwhile,
both “bygavuga” and “scellone94” also found success on Thursday. Find out all the details in our
daily 888poker XL Blizzard recap.
XL Blizzard Day 1: Jan “Graftekkel” Arends Wins Opening Event, “bygavuga” &
“scellone94” Claim Titles
The 11-day XL Blizzard, which will run through January 28, kicked off with the first trio of
tournaments on the 34-event schedule. All told, the first day of the popular series catered to
3,902 entries and awarded $150,906 in prize money. By the end, more than $2.8 million will be
won.
We’ll be bringing you daily updates of the XL Blizzard, so be sure to check back every day. For
now, you can read about the first three events below.
The XL Blizzard, which offers events as low as $5 and as high as $2,100, on 888poker is just
getting started. There are several exciting events on this year’s schedule including $50,000 Crazy
8; $2,100 buy-in, $250,000 GTD High Roller; and $1,050 buy-in, $1,000,000 GTD Main Event
on Jan. 28. We’re also offering new promotions such as awarding big cash prizes to anyone who
wins multiple events ($1,000,000 if you can win five of them), a “Bubble of Bubbles”
tournament (gain entry if/when you bubble a tournament), and the return of the Champion of
Champions event.
The Champion of Champions returns for the XL Blizzard series and one lucky 888poker player
will win a $12,000 WSOP Vegas package. Each time you play in an XL Blizzard event, you earn
leaderboard points. The top 50 players on the leaderboard receive a ticket to the Champion of
Champions tournament and everyone in that special event wins a prize.

XL Eclipse Champ Jan “Graftekkel” Arends Wins Opening Event
The $109 buy-in XL Blizzard Event #1: $80,000 Opening Event needed 800 entries to hit the
guarantee, and it was hit with ease as 667 players rebought 279 times to create a $94,600 prize
pool. That was distributed to the top 90 players, and the man finishing in 91st place was
Argentina’s “BtM4Ever,” who left emptyhanded, but became the first player to lock up a seat in
the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament.
Among those to cash the tournament were 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman”
Moorman (62nd for $302.72), “Cashdurrr” (36th for $425.70), “jareth3542” (21st for $473), and
“Wall2Wall3b” (10th for $1,040.60).
After nearly 10 hours of play, the final table was set, and it was a truly international affair. In
Level 29 (22,500/45,000/5,625), Russia’s “M9yM9so” got his stack all in preflop with the A♥7♦
and failed to hold against the Q♠8♥ of the Netherlands’ Jan “Graftekkel” Arends after a
4♣6♥8♦8♠10♥ run out. “M9yM9so” earned $4,020.50 for finishing in sixth place.
With three players left, Canada’s “BTIPPPPP” got his last 13 big blinds all in preflop holding the
K♣K♠ and was primed to double through Arends. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out
J♠8♣3♦A♦9♣ and Arends rivered a straight to send the Canadian home in third place for $9,460.
In the final hand of the tournament, Ireland’s “123magmag123” got his chips in on a 10♣9♠J♠9♣
board holding the K♥9♦ for trips, which was behind the 8♦7♠ straight of Arends. The A♣ river
was a blank and “123magmag123” had to settle for runner-up and a $12,771 consolation prize.
Last March, Arends topped a field of 702 entries to win the $80,000 Sunday Challenge for
$15,991. Six Months later, he bested a 302-entry field to win the XL Eclipse Event #100:
$250,000 Whale for $64,930.
With a win in the opening event, Arends becomes the first player to win both XL Eclipse and Blizzard titles.
Event #2 Mini Opening Event Ends in Three-Way Russian Deal
Over in the $12 buy-in XL Blizzard Event #2: $15,000 Mini Opening Event, 1,508 players
rebought 832 times to create a $25,506 prize pool. Among the 207 players to get a piece of it
were “888Ferraro” (138th for $35.70), “AdamWinwood” (72nd for $56.11), “KKicker10” (26th for
$96.92), and “sifakwai” (10th for $214.25).
As for the bubble boy, that was Ukraine’s “_FALCON_”, who became the second player to be
awarded a seat into the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament.
When action was down to the final three players, who all happened to be Russians, they struck a
deal before playing it out. “APCEBAT,” who actually got the second most money with
$3,364.42, ended up busting in third place, and then “bygavuga” defeated “VyachesLove” in
heads-up play. They earned $3,393.54 and $2,963.48 respectively
“scellone94” Scores a XL Blizzard Title for Malta
The last XL Blizzard tournament of the day was the $55 buy-in XL Blizzard Event #3: $20,000
Late Opening Event, which drew 441 players who rebought 175 times. That created a $30,800
prize pool that was paid out to the top 63 players.
Someone who just missed out on it by finishing in 64th place was Brazil’s “R.nahtanoJ,” who
became the last player of the day to punch their ticket to the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament.
Among those to cash were “t8ofdiamonds” (51st for $144.76), “EyeofSkadi” (25th for $184.80),
2016 Super XL Main Event runner-up “carmen.1957” (14th for $308), and “n0sferatv” (11th for
$369.60).
After 7 hours and 35 minutes, the title went to Malta’s “scellone94,” who defeated Germany’s
“Charlymogo” in heads-up play to win $5,852. A former Lightning 6-Max champ, “scellone94”
finished runner-up in the January 3 $20,000 Mega Deep New Year’s Special for $5,385.
What’s Coming Up on Friday?
Two more events will take place on Friday, January 19, both at 19:00. The first is the $55 buy-in
XL Blizzard Event #4: $20,000 Twins Royal and the other the $55 buy-in XL Blizzard Event #5:
$20,000 Twins Flush. We’ll bring you a recap of the action once they wrap up.

Hello Everyone,

The second day of the popular series catered to 1,161 entries so far, and is smashing guarantees.



In Event #4: $20,000 Twins Royal, “vampa500” was denied a second XL title, while in Event #5: $20,000 Twins Flush “Ao1ing” had to settle for yet another runner-up finish in a XL event.

[888Rep]

Day 2 of the 888poker XL Blizzard consisted of two events, appropriately dubbed “Twins” for
their $55 buy-ins and similar structures. In Event #4: $20,000 Twins Royal, “vampa500” was
denied a second XL title, while in Event #5: $20,000 Twins Flush “Ao1ing” had to settle for yet
another runner-up finish in a XL event.
XL Blizzard Day 2: “Jamasutra” and “Pasha813” Notch Twin Wins
Day 2 of the XL Blizzard, an 11-day series that will run through January 28, played out on
Friday with two more tournaments off the 34-event schedule. The second day of the popular
series catered to 1,161 entries and $58,050 in prize money.
That means between the first two days of the series, 5,063 entrants have taken to the felt and won
a combined $208,956. By the end, more than $2.8 million will have been won by players in the
XL Blizzard.
We’ll be bringing you daily updates of the XL Blizzard, so be sure to check back every day. For
now, you can read about the latest events below.
The XL Blizzard, which offers events as low as $5 and as high as $2,100, on 888poker is just
getting started. There are several exciting events on this year’s schedule including a $2,100 buyin,
$250,000 GTD High Roller, and $1,050 buy-in, $1,000,000 GTD Main Event on Jan. 28.
We’re also offering new promotions such as awarding big cash prizes to anyone who wins
multiple events ($1,000,000 if you can win five of them), a “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament
(gain entry if/when you bubble a tournament), and the return of the Champion of Champions
event.
The Champion of Champions returns for the XL Blizzard series and one lucky 888poker player
will win a $12,000 WSOP Vegas package. Each time you play in an XL Blizzard event, you earn
leaderboard points. The top 50 players on the leaderboard receive a ticket to the Champion of
Champions tournament and everyone in that special event wins a prize.

Here’s a quick breakdown on what’s happened in the XL Blizzard thus far:
Day 1 – The Netherlands’ Jans “Graftekkel” Arends won the Opening Event for more than
$17K. “bygavuga” and “scellone94” capture titles.

“Pasha813” Denies “vampa500” Another XL Title
The $55 buy-in Event #4: $20,000 Twins Royal attracted 463 players who accounted for 130
rebuys. The 593-entry field created a $29,650 prize pool, and that was distributed among the top
63 players. The player who finished in 64th place, thus earning entry into the “Bubble of
Bubbles” tournament, was Sweden’s “youpornwnker.”
Some of those to earn a piece of it were “Sr.Penes” (4th for $148.25), 888poker Ambassador
Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (36th for $163.07), “courtiebee” (20th for $177.90), and
“juicyjules22” (10th for $355.80).
Two Russians made it to the final table in “nU3DOC” and “Pasha813.” The former ended up
being the first one out, while the latter went on to face off against Bulgaria’s “vampa500,”
winner of September’s XL Eclipse Event #51: $10,000 Turbo 8-Max, in heads-up play. After 7
hours, “Pasha813” took it to the house to win the title and accompanying $5,633.50 first-place
prize.
You might recall that, back in August, “Pasha813” topped a field of 526 runners to win the
$5,000 8-8-8 for $1,139. Now he’s the second Russian player to capture a XL Blizzard title.

“Jamasutra” Deals “Ao1ing” Another XL Heartbreak
The $55 buy-in Event #5: $20,000 Twins Flush saw 434 players rebuy 134 times to create a total
field of 568 entries. The turnout surpassed the guarantee by creating a $28,400 prize pool, which
was paid out to the top 63 players including “YoureMagical” (39th for $142), “Palyaaa” (22nd for
$170.40), “ob1wahn” (8th for $639), and “HotSauce86” (5th for $1,562).
Meanwhile, Norway’s “AKallinAA” busted in 64th place, meaning he’ll be participating in the
“Bubble of Bubbles” tournament.
The final four players consisted of three Russians and a German, so the odds were there would
be Twin winners from Russia. That didn’t happen though as “edyvpakistan” and “dimdaf”
bowed out in third and four places for $2,215.20 and $2,911 respectively.
That set up a heads-up match between the last Russian standing, “Ao1ing,” and Germany’s
“Jamasutra.” After 6 hours and 51 minutes, the tournament came to an end with “Jamasutra” on
top, a feat good for $5,396.
It was another close call for “Ao1ing,” who back in September nearly won the XL Eclipse Event
#131: $15,000 Lightning 6-Max. Unfortunately for him, he came up one spot shy finishing in
second place for $4,743.
What’s Coming Up on Saturday?
It’s going to be a crazy day tomorrow as three “Crazy 8” tournaments are on the schedule. At
19:00, the highly-anticipated $88 buy-in Event #6: $50,000 Crazy 8 will kick off. That
tournament will start play with 8,888 in chips and feature 15-minute levels.
At the same time, a more affordable $8.80 buy-in Event #7: $15,000 Mini Crazy 8 will begin.
Rounding out the Saturday schedule is the $44 buy-in Event #8: $15,000 Late Crazy 8 at 21:00.

but there was no play yesterday or today? why? All others are daily!

 

[Anders1616]

Was there a problem with the poker client yesterday evening, at 888. I was playing Sunday evening the 21.01.18 and the games were running very slow. I was waiting for the free roll at 2100 hrs. But gave up at 2030. And shut down.

 

[Anders1616]

I am winning 10 cents Blast tickets, and free roll tickets, when i spin the poker wheel at 888.
But when i try to use the 10 cent tickets, it is impossible. The lowest buy in at the Blast is 1 $.
Before there was a chance to use the 10 cent tickets at the 10 mans 10 cents table, but that is also blocked.
