[Sticky] 888poker: Promotions & Information

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

THIS WEEK: August 12, 2018

888poker Ambassador Chris Moorman Wins Whale for $26,000

Chris Moorman is online poker’s most accomplished tournament player and on Sunday he added another title to his laundry list resumé – the $80,000 Sunday Whale!

The $1,050 buy-in tournament drew 62 players who rebought 17 times. Among them were Fabricio “DrMiKee” Gonzalez, Ole “olekonjole” Schemion, and 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche, though none of them managed to cash.

In fact, just the top eight players got paid including Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (8th - $3,200), “MisterN411” (7th - $3,600), Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (4th - $8,000), and “Madeon1994” (3rd - $12,000).

After 6 hours and 17 minutes, Moorman dispatched Argentina’s Rodrigo “sonmonedass” Perez to claim the title. It was the second time in just over a month Perez finished runner-up in a big tournament having took second in the June 28th $15,000 Mega Deep for $3,232. Fortunately for him, he had won the $15,000 Turbo Mega Deep four days before that for $5,590.

Two 888poker Ambassadors Go Deep in GREAT 8

The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 easily surpassed its $20K GTD by drawing 247 players who rebought 92 times. That created a $27,120 prize pool paid out to the top 32 players including “Pserinho” (29h - $203), 888poker Ambassadors Sofia “sofialovgren” Lövgren (17th - $271) and Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (16th - $407), “tenshj” (7th - $949), and “snapcallalot” (4th - $2,305).

After Germany’s “_RipCheese_” took his leave in third place, the title came down to Denmark’s “Theindian85” and the Netherland’s “MisterN411.” After 7 hours and 33 minutes in the tournament, the latter prevailed to capture a $5,492 first-place prize.

You might recall that back May, “MisterN411” bested a field of 131 players to win the $2,600 buy-in XL Inferno Event #16: $200,000 High Roller for $90,063.

Moorman Makes Another Final Table, “VitaliyPanko” Wins Sunday Challenge

The $109 buy-in, $40,000 GTD Sunday Challenge attracted 333 players to the virtual felt and they accounted for 111 rebuys. That created a $44,400 prize pool that was distributed to the top 45 players including “NukeTheMoon” (34th - $289), “PulledPorker” (19th - $333), “ZeroNineee” (12th - $666), and Chris “888Moorman” Moorman (5th - $2,531).

After “kaiser066” and Andreas “KURDEdersim” Samuelsson bowed out in fourth and third place respectively, the title came down to Canada’s Zack “DuduPa1986” Korik and Russia’s “VitaliyPanko.” After nearly nine hours in the event, the Russian pulled out the win to pad his bankroll by $8,591.

“HomoDeus” Finds Mega Deep Redemption

The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep surpassed its $100K GTD by drawing 358 players who rebought 186 times. That resulted in a $108,800 prize pool and among the 48 players to get a piece of it were “cuadrado12” (36th - $620), Joao Mathias “joao_mathias” Baumgarten (25th - $740), “LevelingMode” (12th - $1,904), and “dkfdyulr” (3rd - $8,432).

After 11 hours and 11 minutes, the tournament ended in heads-up chop. Russia’s “EyeofSkadi” earned $18,085 for finishing runner-up while Germany’s “HomoDeus” took the title and $18,363 in prize money.

Back in May, “HomoDeus” finished runner-up in the XL Inferno Event #9: $120,000 Mega Deep for $19,768.

“Grozzorg” Scores Second Win in Two Days

The $55 buy-in, $15,000 GTD Sunday Monsoon drew 284 players who rebought 95 times. That generated an $18,950 prize pool paid out to the top 36 spots including “Dallmad” (26th - $161), “TheColdCallr” (14th - $256), “pokernep” (7th - $663), and “vitola99” (5th- $1,099).

After 7 hours and 40 minutes, Germany’s “Grozzorg” defeated Canada’s “mixer_jr” to win the title and $3,875 top prize. The win came just two days after “Grozzorg” took down the $10,000 Tornado for a smooth $3,000 and finished sixth in the $15,000 Mega Deep for $840.

What to watch out for:

Right now, players have the opportunity to become millionaires simply by playing BLAST Sit & Go’s, which are turbo Texas hold’em sit and goes played four-handed.

For a limited time only, those who play a $1 BLAST event will have a chance at $1,000,000, while those who participate in the $5 BLAST could win $2,000,000.

“Not many people get a chance to win that kind of money in poker, much less for $1 or $5,” said 888poker Ambassador Chris Moorman, who plans to BLAST away for the very first time during the promotion. “This is a fun, low cost opportunity to try your luck that anyone can enjoy regardless of skill level.”

Just 1 week after Chris Moorman, who was the last man standing in 888poker’s 8team competition during the WSOP Main Event, the 2nd player standing, Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy took it down.

Only the top eight players got paid and included Jans “Graftekkel” Arends (8th - $3,200), “MisterN411” (5th - $6,000), and “asiarat” (3rd - $12,000). After 6 hours and 47 minutes, Russia’s Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy defeated Finland’s “jnevanli” to win a $26,000 top prize.

While “jnevanli” had to settle for second place and a $16,800 consolation prize, he found redemption in another tournament later in the day, one you can read about below.

Finnish Pros Battle It Out for Sunday Challenge Title

The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge saw 282 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 98 times.

XL Eclipse Main Event Champ Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy Wins the Whale

It’s been a good week for Ukraine’s Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy. Last week, he took down the XL Eclipse Main Event for $187,500, and this Sunday he topped a 68-entry field (48 unique + 20 re-entries) to win the $1,050 buy-in, $50K GTD Whale.

Among those to compete for a piece of the $68,000 prize pool were Stephen “Kale333” Van Zadelhoff, Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy, and Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson, though none of them cashed.

Just the top six go paid including “trino11” (6th - $3,740), “MisterN411” (5th - $5,100), “StuntSoHard” (4th - $6,800), and “radasahk” (3rd - $10,200). After just over six hours, Romanovskiy defeated the UK’s “Dioszilla” in heads-up play to win $25,160.

The $215 buy-in, $80K GTD Sunday Mega Deep saw 320 players rebuy 163 times to surpass the guarantee with a $96,600 prize pool. Among the top 40 finishers to win a piece of it were 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot (28th - $647), Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (16th - $1,449), Vickers95” (10th - $1,932), and “NoMamesWeyyy” (4th - $7,728).

After Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy bowed out in third place for $10,626, the title came down to Finland’s “VALIUM4WIN” – a recent XL Eclipse champ ( he won Event #22: $50,000 Quarterback for $10,954) – and Malta’s “Ronaldo4112.” After more than 11 hours, the latter came out on top to win an $18,837 first-place prize.

GREAT 8 Ends with Heads-Up Deal

The $88 buy-in, $15,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8 easily surpassed its guarantee by attracting 180 players who rebought 62 times. That created a $19,360 prize pool paid out to the top 24 spots including “Nemekiss” (21st - $242), “YSoSerious7” (9th - $436), “ZDamian” (7th - $678), and “VnilaVader” (3rd - $2,323).

After 7 hours and 21 minutes, a heads-up deal was struck between Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor” and Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” struck a heads-up deal in which the former took the title and $4,008 in prize money and the latter $3,204.

Back in April, “psyhoagromor” took down the XL Inferno Opening Event for $22,266.

Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” Finds Redemption in Deepstack Monsoon

While he officially finished second in the Sunday GREAT 8, Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” got a title in the $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon, which drew 180 players who rebought 58 times. The 238-entry field generated an $11,900 prize pool paid out to the top 27 finishers including “carbondating” (26th - $119), “Vulpe3” (13th - $179), “ChipsFool” (8th - $357), and “ghandivan” (3rd - $1,398).

After 8 hours and 35 minutes, “Iamtrying” defeated Russia’s “pokanuktus” in heads-up play to capture the $2,559 top prize.

Lightning Strikes Sweden’s “Raegar97”

The $55 buy-in Lightning 6-Max drew 83 players who rebought 43 times, which meant the $5,000 GTD was surpassed as a $6,300 prize pool was on tap. The top dozen finishers got a piece of it including “IHaveAsthma” (9th - $236), “ZeroNineee” (5th - $441), and “Grozzorg” (3rd - $882).

After 6 hours and 33 minutes in the tournament, Sweden’s “Raegar97” prevailed over Ukraine’s “Enthusiast99” in heads-up play to win a $1,717 top prize. The Ukrainian received $1,150 for his runner-up finish.
