How our member won a $3,600 Spin & Go

In the Bankroll Challenge this week we have more big winners and give you all a well earned summer break from blogging.

While he is not technically a Bankroll Challenger we had to give special mention to long time member and blogger ivicailiev77 who won big in a Spin & Go this month. 

He was lucky enough to find himself in a $3,600 Spin this week and even luckier to go on to win it for $3,000.

We, however, are also lucky because he wrote a very detailed report about what it was like afterwards. 

No penalties in August

We know it's summer and therefore harder to stay inside and grind, which is why for August only we will not be issuing penalties if you do not update your blog - now go and enjoy that sun!

One way to enjoy the weather is with a cold beer in your hand, which is just how eatyourpeas likes it. Check out his blog this week where he talks about bar crawls as much as he does poker. 

That trip to the 2017 WSOP is looking great for mantelo - last week he won his biggest tourney ever and this week he has won a package to play in the MPNPT Tallinn Main Event. Get your bracelet bets on this guy early!

Finally the winner of a status upgrade this week is......silvos84!

You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today!
