THIS WEEK: April 1, 2018
No Joke, 888poker Ambassador Wins Whale for $30,600 on April Fool’s Day
The $1,050 buy-in, $100K GTD Whale attracted 72 players who rebought 30 times. That created a $102,000 prize pool that was paid out to the final table of nine. Among those to cash were Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (9th for $3,570), “jt7bl2f” (5th for $7,650), and “DosPoochies” (3rd for $15,300).
After 8 hours and 8 minutes, 888poker Ambassador Dominik Nitsche bested brazil’s Joao “Jaolito85” Marcos Navarro in heads-up play to win a $30,600 top prize. Making it all the more impressive was that Nitsche won it with just six hours to spare before he had to board a plane to London for the WPT500 festival.
As for Navarro, he just missed out on winning his second title on 888poker in a little over a week. Back on March 24, he took down the $5,000 Deepstack Monsoon for $1,460.
Mega Deep Comes Down to Canadian Heads-Up Match
The $215 buy-in Mega Deep saw 376 players rebuy 112 times in their attempt to win a piece of a $100,000 prize pool. Among the top 48 to cash were Emil “Ejsenhoven1” Olsson (33rd for $570), Joao “Jaolito85” Marcos Navarro (28th for $680), “Binkasaurus” (11th for $1,750), “Pimmelspeck” (5th for $5,250), and “6oTaHik” (3rd for $10,750).
The title came down to a pair of Canadians, and after just shy of 11 hours, “guydeet39” defeated “PBD03” in heads-up play to win the $19,250 first-place prize.
888poker Regular “Fukuruku” Wins GREAT 8 Title
The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 saw 277 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 98 times. Among the 40 players to earn a piece of the $30,000 prize pool were 888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (38th for $174), “Zoulouse” (18th for $300), Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (14th for $450), “sajtgul” (5th for $1,650), and Bogdan “Ph4N888” Nicolae (4th for $2,400).
After “summertime3” bowed out in third place for $3,300, “Emveer” and “Fukuruku” battled it out in heads-up play. The latter wound up winning after 8 hours and 41 minutes and earned $5,850 for the feat.
It was just the latest big score for “Fukuruku” who last year finished third in the Baby Whale for $9,729, placed sixth in the XL Inferno Event #189: $1.5 Million Main Event for $69,322.50, and winning the XL Eclipse Event #149: $60,000 R&A for $11,400.
Russia’s “mikinads” Weathers the Monsoon to Win $3,831
The $55 buy-in, $15K GTD Sunday Monsoon easily surpassed its guarantee by drawing 303 players who rebought 93 times. That created a $19,800 prize pool paid out to the top 45 spots including “Binge_Marker” (32nd for $128.70), “Cocanutter” (23rd for $148.50), Anton “YSoSerious7” Yakuba (11th for $297), “V.BlomFan60” (6th for $871.20), “Lucky_Frutti” (3rd for $2,178).
After 7 hours and 36 minutes, Russia’s “mikinads” bested the UK’s “haylros3” in heads-up play to win $3,831.30. It was the first win for the Russian since he took down the $8,000 Lightning 6-Max for $2,940 last August.
Sunday Challenge Ends with Heads-Up Deal
This week’s $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge saw 356 players rebuy 130 times in their quest to win a part of a $50,000 prize pool. Among the 48 players to get paid were “YukonHo” (36th for $285), “MyDolla54” (18th for $485), “chazcombes” (11th for $875), Alexandru “alexos888” Baron (5th for $2,625), and “_JoinMyStack” (4th for $3,875).
After Brazil’s “pvss10” exited in third place, canada’s “jesseb888” and Malta’s Federico “chicco988” Nano struck a heads-up deal that saw the former win $7,565.12 and the latter $9,184.88 and the title.
