Today a ZOOM challenge that you need to win 25 showdowns in less than 1 hour with at least 3 players in the hand. That sounds tough.

i think its enough to win 25 hands, dont need to be at showdown so not so hard if you play more tables

Not difficult at all. Even if you are BB and everyone folds to you, it is counted as win. I completed this in 17min playing 2 tables zoom..

Your total winnings are: 1 tournaments

What is that? I don't even see any extra tourney tickets?

That’s painful. I won yesterday $30 with flipping around. Didn’t expect that in those 20k+ player fields.

I am back after a 7 month long break from online poker. I was not a big fan of lotteries, akin to the random calendar bonuses, and it was a rather pleasant surprise to see this:
