And some just won't be able to play at all.. like Myself. Yup, tried to login this evening but was unable to. Apparently my web browser no longer supports the site (I have WinVista on my computer & I guess it doesn't work with 888Poker now). So much for that deposit.

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: May 6, 2018
“Leibi180” Wins GREAT 8, Moorman Exits in Third Place
The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 attracted 237 players who rebought 101 times. That meant a $30,000 prize pool was up for grabs, and the top 32 finishers collected a part of it including Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (25th - $225), “josef_shvejk” (15th - $450), “GangstaGo” (8th - $825), and “stevechenko7” (4th - $2,550).
888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman made a deep run at the title, but he ultimately came up two spots shy busting in third place for $3,450. After 9 hours and 24 minutes, it was Switzerland’s “Leibi180” who defeated the UK’s “Hateeeeem” in heads-up play to win $6,075.
It was the second win for “Leibi180” in just over a month. Back on April 3, he took down the $5,000 Lightning 6-Max for $1,515.
“GangstaGo” Claims Mega Deep Title for Ukraine
Speaking of Ukraine’s “GangstaGo” he was also at the final table of the $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep, which attracted 311 players who rebought 107 times. This time he was able to close it out by defeating “PokerJoe332” in heads-up play after just over nine hours in the tournament.
“PokerJoe332” very nearly added a Mega Deep title to go along with the $15,000 GREAT 8 one he won back on April 3. That said, the $14,500 he received for finishing runner-up in the Mega Deep was quite a bit more than the $3,675 he got for the win.
Others who finished in the top 40 and earned a piece of the $100K prize pool were Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (36th - $580), Paul “Senta99” Senter (20th - $1,000), Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (10th - $2,000), Alexandru “alexos888” Baron (6th - $4,000), and “Flopzilla_XD” (3rd - $11,000).
Two-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner Mark “AceSpade11” Radoja Wins Whale
The $1,050 buy-in, $100K GTD Whale surpassed its guarantee by attracted 86 players who rebought 42 times. That created a $128K prize pool paid out to the top dozen spots. The trio to cash but fall short of the final table were “omnomonoomn” (12th), Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (11th), and “hellohellooo” (10th - $3,200), each received $3,200 in prize money.
888poker Ambassador Chris “888Moorman” Moorman was at another final table, but he bowed out early in ninth place for $3,840. Others at the final table included Fabricio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez (8th - $4,480), “Pimmelspeck” (5th - $8,960), and “KimberSlice” (3rd - $17,920).
After 9 hours and 3 minutes, Canada’s Mark “AceSpade11” Radoja bested the UK’s “f0mEiTseGal” to win the title for $35,200. Radoja is a two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner. His first came in 2011 when he took down the $5,000 NLH Shootout event for $436,568, and two years later he won the 2013 WSOP Event #16: $10,000 Heads-Up Championship for $336,190.
Sunday Challenge Ends in Heads-Up Chop
The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge drew 322 runners who rebought 150 times. That offered up a $50K prize pool paid out to the top 48 players including “Sinatra48” (33rd - $285), Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (20th - $485), Alexandru “alexos888” Baron (8th - $1,125), and “MAMOHT_T” (3rd - $5,375).
After 8 hours and 52 minutes, a heads-up deal was struck between “BlackBrahman” and “kiskutya23.” The latter received $8,046.46 and the former $8,703.54 and the title. It was the first Sunday win for “BlackBrahman” since January 28 when he took down the $10,000 Sunday Deepstack Monsoon for $3,128.85.
Brazil’s Francisco “chiconogue” Nogueira Wins Turbo Mega Deep in Less Than 4 Hours
The $215 buy-in Turbo Mega Deep surpassed its $15K GTD by attracting 70 players who rebought 23 times. That generated an $18,600 prize pool paid out to the top 12 players including Anton “VnilaVader” Herrmann (12th - $511.50), “Imogenjaxon” (9th - $511.50), “Nemekiss” (4th - $1,767), and “Fukuruku” (3rd - $2,604).
After just 3 hours and 54 minutes, Brazil’s Francisco “chiconogue” Nogueira defeated Germany’s “NIMAJNEB16” in heads-up play to win $5,068.50.

Well done 888. Well done.
This morning when i logged in to my account i had 7(!) tournament tickets and now when i tried to take part from that 13:00 CET lucky chip tournament it said that i dont have tickets
Then i went to check and what i see - all of those tickets are mysteriously gone. What's more intresting is that none of those 3 Lucky Chip, 3 Pirates Tournament and 1 Level Up tickets were even close to expiring ...
Any idea ?

Welcome to 888poker’s XL Inferno Daily Recap
Yesterday: May 10, 2018
On Thursday, the 2018 XL Inferno got underway with the first three tournaments on the 34-event schedule. The series, which runs through May 20, offers a wide range of buy-ins with seven figures in guarantees.
That includes a $1,050 buy-in, $1,000,000 GTD Main Event on Sunday, May 20.
Remember, everyone who wins an XL Inferno title earns a ticket into the Champion of Champions tournament, which will see the top three finishes each win a prize package to the 2018 World Series of Poker.
Satellites for the XL Inferno are running now for as low as $0.01.
Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor” Wins XL Inferno Opening Event
The series kicked off with the highly-anticipated Event #1: $100,000 Opening Event, which cost $109 to enter. With 880 players who rebought 357 times, it created a prize pool of $123,700.
Among those to compete but fall short of the money were Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson, Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskyi and Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt. Likewise, 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot, who was live streaming on Twitch, failed to make the money, while Chris “888Moorman” Moorman fell eight spots shy of a cash.
After “pipakos555” bubbled the tournament, the top 117 players made the money including “DoobieFish” (84th - $284.51), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (67th - $333.99), Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (53rd - $395.84), “Fukuruku” (29th - $507.17), “SmilleThHero” (15th - $1,051.45), “im_a_luckbox” (8th - $2,535.85), and “Doked” (3rd - $11,998.90), who fell in a big hand when his pocket jacks were cracked by the tens of Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor”.
After 13 hours and 7 minutes in the tournament, “psyhoagromor” defeated Switzerland’s “_Lord_Xenu_” in heads-up play to win the title and $22,266 in prize money.
It was a bit of redemption for “psyhoagromor”, who back in September finished runner-up in a XL Eclipse event. More recently, he won the $10,000 Thursday Cube for $3,250 back on April 5, and two months earlier won the $5,000 Deepstack Monsoon for $1,650.
“Shebalow” Claims XL Inferno Title for Saudi Arabia
The $12 buy-in Event #2: $20,000 Mini Opening Event saw 1,428 players account for 741 rebuys, which created a $23,642 prize pool. That was distributed to the top 162 players including “A.FILTH” (122nd - $42.55), “gption” (81st - $54.37), “pokerkid710” (26th - $94.56), “Zelja22” (12th - $208.05), “brook0817” (6th - $933.86), and “mannyking” (4th - $1,607.66).
After Russia’s “Bigfishka44” exited in third place for $2,243.63, the title came down to Germany’s “bliblablupbp” and Saudi Arabia’s “Shebalow”. After 10 hours and 18 minutes, the latter prevailed to capture the $4,020 first-place prize.
Argentina’s “germaxii” Becomes Two-Time XL Inferno Champ
The third event of the day, Event #3: $25,000 Late Opening Event, saw 489 players pony up the $55 buy-in and rebuy 152 times. That surpassed the guarantee by creating a $32,050 prize pool paid out to the top 63 players including Alexandru “alexos888” Baron (30th - $176.27), “pokerdave128” (15th - $320.50), “StrbxGrndr” (8th - $721.12), “LeshiyAS” (7th - $1,041.62), and “NoTrustEver” (4th - $2,499.90).
After 7 hours and 20 minutes, Argentina’s “germaxii” defeated Canada’s “dankreas” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $6,089 first-place prize. It was the second year in a row the Argentinean won a XL Inferno title. Last May, he bested a field of 232 players to win Event #194: $50,000 T
Turbo Mega Deep for $10,225.
He also won two XL Eclipse events back in September. The first was Event #70: $20,000 Crocodile for $4,708 and the other, Event #167: $10,000 Turbo Knockout, a week later for $2,548.
Here’s the Plan for Friday:
On Friday, two more XL Inferno tournaments will be held. Both the $55 buy-in, $20,000 GTD XL Inferno Event #4: Twins Royal and $55 buy-in, $20,000 GTD Event #5: Twins Flush will kick off at 18:00.

After 7 hours and 20 minutes, Argentina’s “germaxii” defeated Canada’s “dankreas” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $6,089 first-place prize. It was the second year in a row the Argentinean won a XL Inferno title. Last May, he bested a field of 232 players to win Event #194: $50,000 T
Turbo Mega Deep for $10,225.
He also won two XL Eclipse events back in September. The first was Event #70: $20,000 Crocodile for $4,708 and the other, Event #167: $10,000 Turbo Knockout, a week later for $2,548.
Here’s the Plan for Friday:

Mega Deep Champ “eltxupacabra” Wins XL Inferno Crazy 8
The $88 buy-in Event #6: Crazy 8 drew 438 players who rebought 153 times. That meant the top 56 players would earn a piece of the $50,000 prize pool including “ParzivaI” (33rd - $275), “carbondating” (21st - $485), “LeshiyAS” (10th - $815), and “OverM1nd” (4th - $3,750).
After “diegoodl1” exited in third place for $5,250, the title came down to “ITonya” and “eltxupacabra” with the latter coming out on top to win $9,500. It was the second win of the year for “eltxupacabra”, who back in March take down the $215 Mega Deep for more than $20K.
“buldos” Compliments XL Eclipse Win with XL Inferno Title
The $8.80 buy-in Event #7: $15,000 Mini Crazy 8 surpassed its GTD with 1,317 players who rebought 606 times. That generated a $15,384 prize pool paid out to the top 160 players including “OPH1UCHUS” (55th - $44.61), XL Inferno Event #3 champ “germaxii” (29th - $56.92), “ImaBarista” (12th - $126.14), and “DaniMarinov” (4th - $1,077).
After 10 hours and 8 minutes, Belarus’ “buldos” defeated Latvia’s “PhoenixRuffy” in heads-up play to win $2,770. It was the second XL title for “buldos”, who last September topped a field of 2,021 entries to win the XL Eclipse Event #98: $25,000 Mini Tune Up for $5,118.
Opening Event Champ “psyhoagromor” Denied Second Title By “Kaktus26rus”
The $44 buy-in Event #8: Late Crazy 8 drew 271 players who rebought 71 times. The $15,000 prize pool was paid out to the top 40 spots including “germaxii” (30th - $100), “TboneMunson” (16th - $225), “Kroat”. (9th - $300), “pokerdave128” (4th - $1,200), and “heroes333” (3rd - $1,650).
The title came down to Russia’s “Kaktus26rus” and Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor,” who you might recall beat out a 1,237-entry field to win Event #1: $100,000 Opening Event for more than $22K. Unfortunately for “psyhoagromor,” he was denied a second title as “Kaktus26rus” came out on top to win $2,925.
If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because “Kaktus26rus” is a three-time from last September’s XL Eclipse. First, "Kaktus26rus" won Event #121: $15,000 Breeze for $3,134, and then he took down Event #152: $100,000 Quarterback for $21,099 after beating World Series of Poker bracelet winner Chris "NigDawG" Brammer heads up.
