I signed up for an 888 account the other day. I got some free tickets and a $1 just for signing up. That night I used a ticket and played in a satellite tournament. I placed 4th and won about $4. I quite liked the site so the next day I was going to deposit some money but after a few seconds of being logged on I was frozen out and a message said my account has been frozen and to contact an email address. I did this, had a message back saying I have to send copies of my drivers licence and a utility bill. I did this and I am now waiting for a message back. If I get back on I am not sure whether I want to deposit any money on 888 now, not sure I trust them. Has anyone else had this and what was your outcome?

“sayqmyqname” finish as the Quarterback champ. Those stories and more in our latest XL
Blizzard recap.
XL Blizzard Day 8: Kuwait’s “sayqmyqname” Quarterback Champ, “bujalabujala” Scores for
Lithuania, and Super XL Champ “petrofv5501” Books Another Win
Day 7 of XL Blizzard, an 11-day series that runs through January 28, offered up a trio of events.
That means 21 events from the 34-tournament schedule are now in the books.
The XL Blizzard, which will award more than $2.8 million, still has several exciting events on
the schedule including Friday’s $150 buy-in Event #25: $25,000 Knockout, $160 buy-in Event
#28: $50,000 6-Max, and the $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 to be held at 18:00 GMT on January 30.
Also, 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.
Day 2 – “Jamasutra” and “Pasha813” notch “Twin Wins” in Events #4 & #5 Respectively.
Day 3 – Norway’s “Rekrutt1” won Event #6: Crazy 8 for more than $10K; former XL Eclipse
winners “NeveGiveUp” and “msksevart” both claimed XL Blizzard titles.
Day 4 – In Event #9: $120,000 Mega Deep, “23NoraB” found redemption from his second-place
XL Inferno Mega Deep finish. Meanwhile, three 888poker Ambassadors made deep runs in the
Whale and Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt came up short of winning a XL Blizzard not once but twice.
Day 5 – “DeltaSpider” becomes fourth Russian to win XL Blizzard title, “yarik1903” nabs
Ukraine’s second.
Day 6 – “Tonkaaaa” final tables $250K High Roller but “SteveyBG” claims title; big day for
“OINKOinkOink”.
Day 7 – “CR1TCHZ” captured Austria’s second title of the series. Malta’s “PazzoRJ” and the
UK’s “JohnJones34” both won titles.

“sayqmyqname” Puts Kuwait on the Board
Th $215 buy-in Event #22: $80,000 Quarterback allowed players to rebuy a quarter of their stack
– hence the “quarter” back – for only $50 in the instance that they lost all their chips within the
late registration period. The tournament attracted 343 players who rebought 318 times, which
created an $84,500 prize pool.
The top 45 players got paid, which left 46th
-place finisher “jucalangner” leaving empty-handed,
albeit with a consolation prize of entry into the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament. Some
recognizable names to cash were “Kannwas” (32nd for $549.25), “KURDEdersim” (22nd for
$633.75), 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (15th for $1,056.25), Adrian
“ADRI_ATM” Mateos (10th for $1,267.50), and XL Inferno champ “OPH1UCHUS” (3rd for
$9,295).
After 8 hours and 19 minutes, Brazil’s “andrebos” busted to Kuwait’s “sayqmyqname.” The
former earned $12,252.50 for finishing in second place, and the former captured a $16,350.75
first-place prize.
The last documented win for “sayqmyqname” on 888poker came in March of last year when he
took down the $3,000 Early Turbo Swordfish for $802.
“bujalabujala” Wins Lithuania’s First XL Blizzard Title
In the $44 buy-in Event #23: $20,000 Mini Quarterback, 680 players rebought 426 times to
create a $31,460 prize pool. That was reserved for the top 90 players, meaning 91st
-place finisher
“n0sferatv” had to settle for a seat into the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament.
Among those to make a little cash were “FuzzyDonk” (64th for $94.38), Fabrizio “DrMiKee”
Gonzalez (51st for $110.11), “JustFoldEm.” (24th for $157.30), “Benettinho” (12th for $346.06),
and “Kevinmac1” (6th for $1,337.05).
After Malta’s “U.E.N.O.” fell in fifth place for $1,651.65, the final four players worked a deal
before battling it out for the title. In a twist of fate, neither of the two big stacks won it. Instead, it
was “bujalabujala” who emerged victorious to win $3,495.64 and Lithuania’s first XL Blizzard
title of the series.
A Super XL Champs Adds XL Blizzard Title to Résumé
The last tournament of the day, the $109 buy-in Event #24: $20,000 Late Quarterback, drew 223
runners who rebought 141 times. That created a $25,825 prize pool reserved for the top 36
players. As the 37th
-place finisher, John “Dealm8ker69” Cook locked up a seat in the “Bubble of
Bubbles” tournament.
Meanwhile, Super XL Series VII Main Event runner-up “carmen.1957” (30th for $193.68),
“Ao1ing” (27th for $219.51), “LeshiyAS” (15th for $348.63), Alexandru “alexos888” Baron (9th
for $490.67), and Fabrizio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez (3rd for $2,918.22).
After 6 hours and 18 minutes, Russia’s “petrofv5501” bested Switzerland’s “77DASH” in headsup
play to win $5,281.21. It marked the fifth XL Blizzard title won by a Russian player.
Back in January 2017, “petrofv5501” won Event #32: $50,000 Super XL 8-Max for $11,641.36

(27th for $212.50 and $164 in bounties), XL Blizzard Event #8 champ “msksevart” (23rd for
$212.50 and $164 in bounties), “RakDoll” (11th for $400 and $164 in bounties), Fabrizio
“DrMiKee” Gonzalez (7th for $875and $492 in bounties), and “HotSauce86” (4th for $2,125 and
$369 in bounties).
After Sweden’s Jerry “Perrymejsen” Ödeen, who was April’s biggest Sunday online winner on
888poker, bowed out in third place for $2,825 and $369 in bounties, the title came down to the
UK’s “Patsharpe” and the Netherlands’ “LucySagara70.” After 9 hours and 42 minutes in the
tournament, the Dutchie claimed victory for $5,112.50 and $410 in bounties (Jans “Graftekkel”
Arends, who won the Opening Event for more than $17K, is the only other player from the
Netherlands to win a XL Blizzard title thus far). The Brit took home $3,750 and $348.50 in
bounties to help soothe the pain.
If you recall, “LucySagara70” finished fifth in the XL Eclipse Opening Event for $16,387.50
back in September.
“grigorq77” a Mini Bounty Hunter
The $35 buy-in Event #26: $10,000 Mini Knockout drew 731 entries, which more than doubled
the advertised guarantee by creating a $23,757.50 prize pool. Of that, $18,275 went into the
regular prize pool and $5,482.50 into the bounty prize pool.
The top 99 players got paid, which meant 100th
-place finisher “BernardoDG” left with $15 in
bounties and a seat into the “Bubble of Bubbles” tournament. Among those to cash were
“dappaHD” (42nd for $69.44 and $56.25 in bounties), “ginus09” (23rd for $91.37 and $22.50 in
bounties), XL Blizzard Event #20 champ “JohnJones34” (9th for $237.57 and $37.50 in
bounties), XL Eclipse “vampa500” (6th for $767.55 and $37.50 in bounties), and “SollenAA” (3rd
for $1,809.22 and $90 in bounties).
After 9 hours and 9 minutes, the final two players struck a deal. “SeauZezinho23” ended up
finishing in second place for $2,858.07 and $105 in bounties, while “grigorq77” claimed the title,
a $2,889.84 prize, and $97.50 in bounties.

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

The Champion of Champions returns for the XL Blizzard series and one lucky 888poker player

leaderboard points. The top 50 players on the leaderboard receive a ticket to the Champion of
