Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.
THIS WEEK: March 24, 2019
“SkallePer58” Wins Sunday Mega Deep for Sweden
The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep attracted 313 players who rebought 128 times, which meant a $100,000 prize pool was reserved for the top 45 players. Among those to get a piece of it were Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt (38th - $600), “IggyGak” (24th - $750), “Panzerfish” (14th - $1,250), “Mr.Fonzi” (7th - $3,400), “EyeofSkadi” (4th - $8,250), and “sikosomatik” (3rd - $11,000).
After 10 hours and 36 minutes, Sweden’s “SkallePer58” bested Finland’s “purplegerbil” in heads-up play to win a $19,350 first-place prize. The win came a little more than a year after “SkallePer58” took down the $15,000 Turbo Mega Deep for $5,668.
“mrsmith78” Wins Rake or Break Main Event for $17,300
The $320 buy-in Rake or Break Main Event drew 227 players who rebought 55 times. That meant the $100,000 prize pool target wasn’t hit -- $84,600 was on tap – so all players got their rake back!
The top 27 spots were paid including “RoddyMacneil” (29th - $634.50), “Villeroi” (17th - $930.60), “CalmRevolver” (8th - $2,115), “alexos888” (5th - $4,906.80), and “strangejelly” (3rd - $9,559.80).
After 7 hours and 34 minutes, it was “mrsmith78” defeating “StuntSoHard” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $17,300.70 first-place prize. It was a bit of redemption for “mrsmith78” after he finished seventh in February’s $300 buy-in RakeLESS Sunday Main Event for $4,300.
“laston16” Outlasts the Competition to Take Down Rake or Break Challenge
The $109 buy-in Rake or Break Challenge had a target prize pool of $25,000, which it surpassed by drawing 220 players who rebought 49 times. That resulted in a $26,900 prize pool that was paid out to the top 36 players including “ImPaulin” (25th - $228.65), “HermanMelvin” (14th - $363.15), “tikkapekka” (9th - $511.10), “root4deuces” (5th - $1,560.20), and “DuduPa1986” (3rd - $3,039.70).
After 7 hours and 27 minutes, the UK’s “laston16” bested Malta’s “Aletotti” in heads-up play to win the $5,501.05 top prize.
Rake or Break Monsoon Ends in Heads-Up Deal
The $55 buy-in Rake or Break Monsoon surpassed its $15,000 target by attracting 316 players who rebought 75 times. That created a $19,550 prize pool that was paid out to the top 45 players including Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (45th - $117.30), “YupYupMan” (25th - $146.62), “ZDamian” (12th - $293.25), “MuggyW” (5th - $1,114.35), and “bomberman115” (3rd - $2,150.50).
After 7 hours and 24 minutes in the tournament, the final two struck a deal in which Canada’s “Kurple” finished in second place for $3,022.70 and Lithuania’s “RB27.” claimed the title and $3,595.90 in prize money.
“TigerNoTilt” Bests Mark Hurd to Win Sunday Deepstack Monsoon
The $55 buy-in $10,000 GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon saw 195 players rebuy 75 times, which created a $13,500 prize pool paid out to the top 27 players including “gawner” (19th - $135), Ian “Simpioni” Simpson (10th - $236.25), “lagostim” (6th - $675), and Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (4th - $1,181.25).
After “Life0nMars” bowed out in third place for $1,586.25, the title came down to the UK’s “markhurd” and Ukraine’s “TigerNoTilt.” Nine hours and nine minutes into the tournament, the latter came out top and took down the $2,902.50 first-place prize.
“wisimaki” Wins Whale for $22,000
The $1,050 buy-in Whale surpassed its $50K GTD by drawing 36 players who rebought 19 times. That created a $55,000 prize pool that was paid out to the top five players including “StuntSoHard” (5th - $4,400), “PokerJoe332” (4th - $5,500), and “purplegerbil” (3rd - $8,250).
After 5 hours and 26 minutes, it came down to the UK’s “wisimaki” and Canada’s Sam “FlatTopTony” Greenwood. The former ultimately prevailed to claim the title and $22,000 first-place prize. The win came two weeks after he finished sixth in the same tournament for $3,245.
While he didn’t win the Whale, Greenwood would win something else on Sunday – a seat into the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event. Read on to find out how.

Free PLay Bonus
I received a £40 free play bonus code through the post but can't find anywhere to redeem the code. The only place I can find to input a code is in the cashier when you deposit but this is a no deposit code for free play. Any Ideas?

Just got the new update today, OMG the new 888 software sucks. It is terrible.
The tables are so dull and they have messed around with everything and worse of all is the light what speeds round as your time runs down, it gives the impression you are very short of time and makes you panic, it is terribly badly designed.
I have played a few games on it and I am sorry 888 but that is me finished playing on your site, I think your new software is horrible with no redeeming features.
It is another case of a poker site feeling the need to modernise something that was ok as it was, apart from the last few days when it wouldn't work at all or kept crashing, I loaded up 4 sitngos and the site crashed and by the time I got it to work of course they were finished 😡😡
Goodbye 888.

Here's an idea for 888: ask your players first for what they would like to see for the layout. Compile the data and organize it into categories. Take it to your designers. Create a few options.. a minimalist layout, a standard layout, and a 888 flashy layout if you must.

Problems after update
Hi there!
After update the software, my system is too slow, and opening innumerous ffdshow audio decoder services in windows process.
Is this happening with anyone? Is there something needed to improve this program. I'm liking of the appearance, but it is too hard the playability.

You guys keep going lower and lower stakes. You used to have $30 to $160 and $160 to $600 steps. The $160 were great and also ideal for the Live Satellites. I really will never play a Live Satellite that is more than 1 in 10 and some of the 888 Live Satellites are 1 in 40 now on 888 which are just unplayable. You want to be able to realistically qualify for a live event and you can't predict that if you are playing 1 in 40 tournaments.
Mr
