'Samara Lúcio' wins $1 million Spin & Go
A Brazilian girl is reported to be the latest Spin & Go millionaire, in a week where PokerStars unveil a live version of the format at EPT Malta.
Less than a week since the introduction of $1 million Spin & Go tournaments and we already have a new seven-figure winner.
'Samara Lúcio' of Brazil bought in for just $5 but, after taking out 'struchalina' of Russia and 'AA_MaKnO_AA' of Lithuania, she transformed her entry into a cool million.
Both runners-up pocketed $100,000 each for being dealt into the jackpot table.
'Samara Lúcio' is said to be female player Samara Britto of Brazil, according to a post on 2+2, which seems to be confirmed by the account's PokerStars avatar.
The million dollar jackpots are still on offer at the $0.50, $5 and $100 tables for the rest of the month, until they conclude at 23:59 ET on November 1. The $100 buy-in level will continue thereafter with a $1 million top jackpot.
Spin & Go live
As the popularity of Spin & Go shows no end, EPT Malta is going to get in on the action with a live version of the format.
Throughout the series, which is already underway, €50 three-handed SNGs will run alongside the cash games, with a spinning wheel to determine the prize pool.
The top prize for this format, however is nowhere as big as the online version, at just €1,000.
