Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: March 11, 2018
“sweet_dr34ms” wins $33,550!
The tournament attracted 84 players who rebought 38 times, which created a $122,000 prize pool.
The top dozen players got paid and included 888poker Ambassador Sofia “sofialovgren” Lövgren (12th for $3,050), Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (7th for $5,185), Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky (5th for $8,540), and two-time XL Inferno champ Anton “anteen” Bertilsson (3rd for $17,080).
Eventually the title came down to two Russian’s, “sweet_dr34ms” and “josef_shvejk,” and after 8 hours and 29 minutes in the tournament, the former came out on top to capture a $33,550 first-place prize.
It was the second win of the year for “sweet_dr34ms”, who back on January 4 took down the $5,000 Lightning 6-Max for $1,800, the same event he won a month before for $1,500.
Meanwhile, “josef_shvejk” was denied his third win this year on 888poker. Back in February, he won the $15,000 Turbo Mega Deep for $4,940, and then a little over a week ago took down the $15,000 GREAT 8 for $3,675.
XL Eclipse Champ “Ezreaal” Takes Down GREAT 8
The $88 buy-in Sunday GREAT 8 saw 377 players rebuy 134 times, which helped surpass the $40K GTD by creating a $40,880 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 48 players including Preban “prebzzz” Stokkan (48th for $196.22), “ZDamian” (18th for $396.53), “Lucky_Frutti” (10th for $715.40), and “psyhoagromor” (5th for $2,146.20).
Once Argentina’s “Pepepepepe.”, who won the XL Blizzard Main Event, exited in third place for $4,394.60, Romania’s “LevelingMode,” a XL Eclipse champ, and Lithuania’s “Ezreaal” squared off in heads-up play. After 10 hours and 12 minutes, the Lithuanian prevailed to capture a $7,869.40 first-place prize.
“Ezreaal” is also a XL Eclipse champ after he defeated the aforementioned “ZDamian” in Event #72: $20,000 Monsoon for $3,838. He’d go on to finish runner-up in the XL Eclipse Event #151: $20,000 Monsoon for $3,341.
Sweden’s “ChicknWaffle” Clains Sunday Mega Deep Title
This week’s $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep saw 370 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 116 times, which offered up a $100K prize pool. The top 48 spots got paid including “Garlic888” (23rd for $970), Robin “Inho” Ylitalo (18th for $970), “Mrpiink” (9th for $1,750), Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovsky (7th for $2,750), and “Hanzokid” (3rd for $10,750).
After 11 hours and 22 minutes, Sweden’s “ChicknWaffle” defeated Germany’s “OINKOinkOink,” the XL Blizzard Event #17: $100,000 Mini High Roller champ, in heads-up play to win $19,250. Less than a week ago, “ChicknWaffle” finished second in the $22 buy-in Deepstack Starfish for $875.88 after a heads-up deal with “ColdCoffe15”.
Croatian Stud Ivan “nomoney4ever” Banic Proves Up for Sunday Challenge
The $109 buy-in, $50,000 Sunday Challenge attracted 339 runners who rebought 129 times. Among the 48 players to cash it were “shag72” (23rd for $485), “Pepepepepe.” (14th for $675), “bluffmagic” (8th for $1,125), and “cuadrado12” (3rd for $5,375).
The tournament, which last a minute shy of nine hours, came to an end when Ivan “nomoney4ever” Banic dispatched “jancsi89” in second place for $7,125. The Croatian added $9,625 to his bankroll for the victory.
Back in September, Banic won the XL Eclipse Event#30: $15,000 Lightning 6-Max for $5,070. In the live realm, Banic has amassed $342,057 in tournament earnings, which puts him third on his country’s all-time money list.
Mega Deep Champ “Enl1ght” Adds Monsoon Title
The $55 buy-in Sunday Monsoon attracted 247 players who accounted for 63 rebuys. That created a $15,500 prize pool, which was paid out to the top 36 players. Among those to earn a piece of it were “wheelguy00” (32nd for $116.25), “billy3lliot” (15th for $209.25), “Senta99” (5th for $899), and “djmtm” (3rd for $1,751.50).
After 7 hours and 35 minutes in the tournament, Russia’s “Enl1ght” bested the UK’s “bkrrr” in heads-up play to win $3,169.75. Last July, “Enl1ght” bested a field of 491 entries to win the $100,000 Mega Deep, which debuted a new structure that day, for a smooth $19,000.

888POKER AND ONE DROP JOIN FORCES TO MAKE A GLOBAL IMPACT
Unique collaboration combining the love of poker with giving back to the community
888poker, one of the most popular online poker platforms in the world, and One Drop, an
international non-profit organization founded by Guy Laliberté whose mission is to provide
access to safe water to vulnerable communities around the world, have united in an exciting
new collaboration.
888poker and One Drop are gearing up for an exceptional first-time tournament – the World
Water Day Online Tournament – designed to provide players with maximum fun, while raising
awareness and funds to those in need of safe water and sanitation.
When 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home, it is a tough task for one
individual alone to be able to make a major impact when it comes to safe water access.
888poker wants to help One Drop continue growing the movement it has initiated in the poker
world since 2012 to achieve a more global awareness through the power of numbers. The
initiative will kick off on 888poker on March 22, 2017, the United Nations-sanctioned World
Water Day. Participating in the World Water Day Online Tournament is a fantastic opportunity
to unite the poker community behind the worthy cause of critical water issues and play for a
prize pool of $5,000 at the same time. The affordable buy-in of only $11.11 makes it accessible
to both recreational and professional players. 888poker will be donating all fees collected from
the tournament to the One Drop organization.
“This will be One Drop’s first online poker tournament ever and we are confident that we have
found another great ally in 888poker. We are excited with the idea of being able to reach out to
their extensive community of online players to raise awareness and funds for critical water
issues. We sincerely hope that this collaboration will be the first of many more to come.” said
Alexandre Meunier, Senior Director of Special Initiatives at One Drop.
Since 2012, the poker community has helped One Drop raise over $20,000,000 to fund global
safe water access projects, helping to transform the lives of over 170,000 people in some of the
world’s most vulnerable communities.
888poker’s commitment to giving back is reflected in its people as well as in its online activities.
In fact, winner of the last WSOPE $111,111 One Drop event and 888poker ambassador, Dominik
Nitsche will be participating in the prestigious $1 million buy-in tournament – Big One for One
Drop – at the WSOP 2018.
“Our new collaboration with One Drop is a great milestone for us here at 888poker. Supporting
causes that improve the world we live in is an important part of our activities,” said Guy Cohen,
SVP Head of B2C, 888 Holdings. “We are excited to be able to offer our players the chance to
contribute to those in need, along with exclusive access to the most sought-after events in the
poker calendar.”
Due to the generous contributions from Guy Laliberté and Cirque du Soleil, 100% of funds
collected through the One Drop poker tournaments and initiatives go directly to the
communities for whom the money was raised.

About One Drop
One Drop is an international foundation created in 2007 by Cirque du Soleil’s founder Guy
Laliberté. At the core of our mission is access to water, sanitation and hygiene as a

communities. With the objective of delivering long-term impact and sustainability, we bring into
all of our projects a unique Social Art for Behavior Change approach that aims at engaging
communities in taking ownership and embracing adequate behaviors towards water, sanitation
and hygiene. This year, One Drop is celebrating 10 years of bringing sustainable access to safe

Darner has a slew of tournament cashes on 888poker including a win in the 2017 New Year’s Day $50,000 Sunday Challenge for $11,692.
Trio of Five-Figure Winners Deal in the Whale
The $1,050 buy-in Whale blew by its $100K guarantee by attracting 119 entries (70 unique + 49 rebuys). That created a prize pool of $119K paid out to the final table of nine. Among those to cash were “SkallePer58” (9th for $4,165), “hellohellooo” (6th for $6,545), and “summuNNN” (4th for $11,900).

GREAT 8 Ends in Two-Way Deal
This week’s $88 buy-in GREAT 8 attracted 327 players who rebought 129 times. A $40,000 prize pool was up for grabs and the top 48 players got a piece of it including “Baambooo” (34th for $228), “summuNNN” (25th for $272), “88TIGER889” (10th for $700), and 888 regular “Fukuruku” (3rd for $4,300).
After 8 hours and 40 minutes, “ChaChoStyle” and “Dablinov” struck a heads-up deal that saw the latter earn $6,107.33 and the former $7,292.67 and the title. It was a nice score for “ChaChoStyle,” who back on February 12 placed 14th in the GREAT 8 for $274.40.
“Fukuruku” Breaks Through in the Sunday Challenge
The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge attracted 341 players who rebought 125 times. A $50K prize pool was paid out to the top 48 finishers including “josf_shvejk” (23rd for $485), “JohnJone34” (15th for $675), “abmarin” (7th for $1,375), and “Ph4N888” (4th for $3,875).
After “n0sferatv” bowed out in third place for $5,375, Ukraine’s “Fukuruku,” who had several cashes on Sunday, squared off against Argentina’s “tinchoarce” in heads-up play. After 8 hours and 49 minutes, the Ukrainian emerged victorious to take down a $9,625 top prize.
A Pair of New Zealanders Final Table the Monsoon
The $55 Sunday Monsoon drew 258 runners who rebought 86 times. That helped surpass the $15,000 guarantee by creating a $17,200 prize pool that was paid to the top 36 spots. Among those to earn a piece of it were “Mr.Whittte” (30th for $129), “MttRaven” (20th for $146.20), “Jaolito85” (9th for $326.80), and “Flea_man11” (4th for $1,462).

“villagelife” was less than two weeks removed from winning the $30 buy-in $2,500 8-Max Swordfish for $750. He also finished second in the Monsoon back on March 13 for $1,317.50, and on February 25 won the $1,000 GTD R&A for $490.50.

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.

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.

Hello everyone,
In March 2018, 888poker and the World Poker Tour (WPT) went where no poker tournament series had gone before!
They combined online and live Day 1s to create an event that appealed to all poker players.
And. With a whopping $1,000,000 guarantee, they proved that they were serious about making this event happen.
For the full recap click here. https://www.888poker.com/magazine/888news/888poker-wpt500-london-big-success
Hello everyone,
In 2017, we sent five teams to the WSOP. Each group consisted of a captain, wingman and qualifier.
The competition was fierce, but Team Brazil’s, Joao Sousa Monteiro came out on top, finishing in 583rd place for $22,449.
Seeing as he qualified for the event via a $30 satellite, his survival to Day 4 of the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event was all that more remarkable.
In addition to the cash, Monteiro also took home a package to the 2018 WSOP Main Event, courtesy of 888poker.
This year, ALL members of the team with the most points will receive a package for the 2019 WSOP Main Event!

“ImFromGreece” Gets Long Awaited Win in Monsoon
