“prebzzz” Adds Rake or Break Whale to His 888poker Resumé
The $530 buy-in Rake or Break Whale had a $25,000 target, which it failed to hit as 32 players rebought 14 times to create a $23,000 prize pool. That meant all participants enjoyed a rake free experience!
Among those to fire but fail to cash were 888poker Ambassador Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche, “alexos888,” and bubble boy “Sw33ney,” just to name a few.
The top five got paid including “danila4444” (5th - $1,840), “ShipGold” (4th - $2,300), and “kiskutya” (3rd - $3,450). It took 4 hours and 14 minutes for the tournament to come to an end, which happened when the UK’s “prebzzz” beat Ukraine’s “kolja.ok” in heads-up play, good for a $9,200 top prize.

After “Hateeeeem” bowed out in third place for $2,679, the final two players opted to work a deal and then play for the title. Canada’s “alexos888” wound up with $4,359.98 in prize money, though it was “ahjaa” who wound up the winner for $4,076.02.
Ukraine’s “Pon4uk” Weathers the Monsoon to Win $2,160

Hi 888Rep! Can you explain what this new bonus rule is and how should we complete our bonuses? What is the point of the Hand of the day bonus if I have to lose my bankroll in order to able to finish the bonus? :))
I think in 10 years of poker I haven't seen a bigger dumbfuckery than this. Please don't get offended, I know it's not your fault.♠_biggrin:

Hello,
I'm a little puzzled, because I don't get any Ace the slopes tickets. I have played cash games every night this week, but I haven't received any tickets to the freerolls. I know that I've won with hands that have '8' in them. Is it me or is there other issues?
Kind regards
