Sunday Mega Deep Ends in Three-Way Deal and “bomberman115” on Top
The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep always attracts the best of the best, and this week saw 282 runners take to the virtual felt and compete for a share of a $100,000 prize pool. Among the top 40 to get paid were “PBD03” (29th - $670), “PokerFactor” (17th - $1,000), “asolisbri” (11th - $2,000), “Ronaldo4112” (4th - $5,500), and “infaust992” (4th - $8,000).

You might remember that back in September “bomberman115” took down the $15,000 Mega Deep for $4,715.
Swedes Battle It Out for Whale Title
The $1,050 buy-in Whale attracted 33 runners who rebought 13 times, which meant a $50,000 prize pool was on tap. Among those to compete for it but fall short of cashing were 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche, “TrollKonst,” and bubble boy Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich.
Among those to cash were “Hateeeeem” (5th - $4,000), Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (4th - $5,000), and “IHaveNoBoss” (3rd - $7,500). The final two was comprised of a pair of Swedes, and after 4 hours and 26 minutes, “SalsaFiesta” bested Fredrik “freddeaik11” Björklund to win the title and $20,000 top prize.
Ukraine’s “kazan4ik” Wins Mini Mega Deep Turning $22 Into $4,518 Payday

Malta’s “KToFTW” Takes Down Sunday Deepstack Monsoon
The $55 buy-in, $10,000 GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon drew 197 players who rebought 49 times. That created a $12,300 prize pool that was paid out to the top 27 players including “GramNaKartke” (23rd - $123), “RazvyB” (12th - $215.25), “JNSP77” (6th - $615), and “Duckface01” (3rd - $1,445.25).
After 9 hours and 17 minutes, Malta’s “KToFTW” bested XL Eclipse runner-up “futomaki123” in heads-up play to win the title and $2,644.50 first-place prize. It marked “KToFTW’s” first win on 888poker since the August 3 $10,000 Monsoon, which he won for $2,300.
A Brazilian Monsoon Results in Two Big Winners
The $55 buy-in Monsoon easily surpassed its $10,000 GTD by drawing 227 players who rebought 76 times, which created a $15,150 prize pool. Among the top 36 players to finish in the money were “popsnpoker” (18th - $166.65), “DR.Lorax” (7th - $530.25), “Dablinov” (5th - $878.70), and “SurgeonV” (3rd - $1,711.95).
After 6 hours and 50 minutes, the final two players, who happened to be Brazilian, struck a deal and then played to a winner. In the end, Caio “CVriserio” Risério won it for $2,654 while “NowickiGalo” took second, albeit for more money to the tune of $2,716.

After 11 hours and 35 minutes, it was “tmurdah” defeating “BL1NDRAZOR” in heads up play to win one of 888poker’s most coveted titles and a $19,350 prize pool. It was almost the second win in just over a month for “BL1NDRAZOR,” who won the December 4 $33 buy-in Big Fish for $3,216.03. He had to settle for a $14,500 consolation prize for finishing runner-up in the Mega Deep.
Russia’s “77kol0bok77” is More Than Up for the Sunday Challenge
The $109 buy-in, $20K GTD Sunday Challenge saw 187 players take to the virtual felt and rebuy 66 times, which resulted in a $25,300 prize pool.

A few minutes after eight hours in the tournament, Russia’s “77kol0bok77” defeated “Eclecctic” to win the title and $5,439.50 top prize. It was his second win in just over a month after he took down the December 6 Big Fish for $3,294.
“Whoisit13” Turns $22 Into $5,269 Payday in Mini Mega Deep BONANZA
The $22 buy-in Mini Mega Deep BONANZA breezed by its $25K GTD by attracting 1,085 players who rebought 422 times, which resulted in a $30,140 prize pool. The top 144 players got paid including “Sinistrous” (40th - $96.44), “talbot49” (25th - $126.58), “Jimwa157” (8th - $602.80), and “slacker11” (5th - $1,507).
After Canada’s “Chesterman13” busted in third place for $2,863.30, the title came down to a pair of players from the UK. After 9 hours and 4 minutes, “Whoisit13” defeated “AceHighJohnT” in heads-up play to turn his $22 into a $5,269.12 payday.
Forget the Playoffs, “TomBrady17” Wins Sunday Deepstack Monsoon for $2,870
The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon crushed its guarantee by attracting 194 players who rebought 73 times. That created a $13,350 prize pool paid out to the top 27 spots including “Kaktus26rus” (20th - $133.50), “Malygos1987” (10th - $233.62), Rob “RTinnion” Tinnion (8th - $400.50), “Sinistrous” (4th - $1,168.12), and “mieux90” (3rd - $1,568.62).
After 9 hours and 8 minutes, Canada’s “TomBrady17” defeated “konnichiwah” in heads-up play to win the title and $2,870.29 first-place prize.
“Duckface01” Weathers Monsoon to Win $2,719.79
The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon saw 199 players rebuy 54 times to create a $12,650 prize pool. Among the top 27 players to get a piece of it were “Irreligious8” (22nd - $126.50), “Fushin1” (13th - $189.75), “aligatorbt” (6th - $632.50), and “plush0292” (4th - $1,106.87).
After “Beachfarm” bowed out in third place for $1,486.37, the title came down to “Duckface01” and “GiMMiETheL0T.” After just over seven hours, the former prevailed to win the title and accompanying $2,719.79 first-place prize.
You might remember “Duckface01” had a big day back on December 16, which is when he finished runner-up in the Sunday Mega Deep for $12,180. Not only that, he also took down the $4,000 Twister for a more modest $1,400.

“Utd879908” Claims Sunday Mega Deep Title for Nearly $20K
This week’s $215 buy-in, $100K GTD Sunday Mega Deep attracted 355 players who rebought 158 times, which created a $102,600 prize pool.

After “888topPair” bowed out in third place for $11,286 – he’d also finish third in the Whale, which you’ll read about below – the title came down to Brazil’s “Yattag0” and the UK’s “Utd879908.” It took 11 hours and 32 minutes for things to come to a head, but eventually the latter came out on top to win the $19,853.10 top prize.
“alwayswin111” Slays the Whale
The$1,050 buy-in Whale had 34 players rebuy 14 times. Some of the big names to compete for the $50,000 prize pool – but fail to get a piece of it – were 888poker Ambassador Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson, Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt, and “Mark_landers,” just to name a few.
Only the top five players got paid including “HateH4teHate” (5th - $4,000), Anton “anteen” Bertilsson (4th - $5,000), and “888topPair” (3rd - $7,500). After 5 hours and 33 minutes in the tournament, “alwayswin111” defeated Brazil’s “BeeTheBeagle” in heads-up play to win the title and $20,000 first-place prize.
“EZ.PZ” Makes the Sunday Challenge Look Easy Peasy
The $109 buy-in, $20K GTD Sunday Challenge surpassed its guarantee by drawing 192 players who rebought 53 times. That meant a $24,500 prize pool would be paid out to the top 27 players including “Lucky_Frutti” (18th - $306.25), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (10th - $428.75), “Namlleh” (6th - $1,225), and “YSoSerious7” (3rd - $2,878.75).

Germany’s “JaNeiZZzKl4r” Weathers the Monsoon
The $55 buy-in Monsoon surpassed its $10K GTD by drawing 226 players who rebought 53 times, which created a $13,950 prize pool. Among the top 36 players to cash were “Hala1988” (25th - $118.57), “dayofwin” (13th - $188.32), “TomBrady17” (4th - $1,185.75), and “n0sferatv” (3rd - $1,576.35).

Brazil’s “brunobezerr4” Takes Down Sunday Deepstack Starfish
The $22 buy-in, $5,000 GTD Sunday Deepstack Starfish crushed its guarantee by attracting 300 players to the virtual felt and seeing them rebuy 80 times. That created a $7,600 prize pool that was paid out to the top 45 players including “Renato2322” (32nd - $49.40), “keyhell” (21st - $57), “Artistelis” (9th - $133), “ozzie22” (4th - $627), and “LuckJesus” (3rd - $836).
After two minutes shy of nine hours in the tournament, it was Brazil’s “brunobezerr4” besting Canada’s “lunchbox1980” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $1,470.60 first-place prize.
On Their Way to Vegas!
Remember, every Sunday at 20:30 GMT now through June 888poker will host a $1,050 “WSOP 2019 Main Event Package Qualifier.”
Those who win their way into the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event will be awarded a prize package valued at $12,600. Those packages include six nights (July 4-10, 2019) at the luxurious Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas, a $10,000 WSOP Main Event buy-in, $1,000 for travel and expenses (paid directly to your 888poker account), and an invite to a welcome party at the Vdara Hotel.
This week’s qualifier had 29 players rebuy four times, which meant two packages were awarded and the third-place finisher, who in this case was Sweden’s “AMORFAT,” won $7,800 in cash. The two players winning their way into the 2019 WSOP Main were Greece’s “valuetown11” and Romania’s “CoCoMic.”
