Message: [QUOTE="888Rep, post: 4759597, member: 122549"] [B]Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal[/B][COLOR=#000000], with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.[/COLOR] [B]THIS WEEK: November 4, 2018[/B] [B]Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt Wins $100K GTD Sunday Mega Deep for $20,867[/B] [COLOR=#000000]888poker’s premiere event on Sunday was the $215 buy-in, $100K GTD Sunday Mega Deep, a tournament that drew 342 players who rebought 200 times. That meant a $108,400 prize pool was up for grabs for the top 48 finishers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Some players to bank some cash were “joao_mathis” (24th - $1,051), “RakDoll” (13th - $1,463), “PBD03” (9th - $1,897), and “Madeon1994” (3rd - $11,653).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 10 hours and 52 minutes, the title came down to Sweden’s Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt and the UK’s Paul “Senta99” Senter. The Swede, a regular on 888poker, wound up the victor to claim the $20,867 top prize. It was Åstedt’s first big win since he took down the July 1st $50K Whale for $20,000.[/COLOR] [B]“Farrugia_1” Denies Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg a Whale Title[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $1,050 Whale saw 46 players rebuy 19 times to create a $65,000 prize pool, which surpassed the $50K GTD. Among those to compete but fall short of a cash were 888poker Ambassador Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson, Niklas “tutten7” Åstedt, and bubble boy “DosPoochies.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Only the top seven got paid including Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson (6th - $3,575), “blowjob1987” (5th - $4,875), “Kannwas” (4th - $6,500), and “Hurrrrican3” (3rd - $9,750).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 5 hours and 32 minutes, Malta’s “Farrugia_1” bested Sweden’s Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg in heads-up play to win the title and $24,050 top prize. You might recall that back in the 2017 XL Eclipse, “Farrugia_1” took down the $160 Tune Up for $41,175, so he’s got some high-stakes tournament experience on 888poker![/COLOR] [B]GREAT 8 Ends in Three-Way Deal and “Sektor171994” on Top[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $88 buy-in, $8,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8 easily surpassed its guarantee by drawing 104 players who rebought 48 times, which created a $12,160 prize pool. The top 16 got paid including 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot (13th - $243), “Civoldar” (8th - $365), “PBD03” (6th - $608), and “igrok521” (4th - $1,094).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]With three players left in the tournament a deal was struck that saw the triumvirate each lock up more than $2,000. Finland’s “Sektor171994” was crowned the winner and won the most with a $2,332 prize after the deal.[/COLOR] [B]“POTITOOOOOOO” Captures Monsoon Title for the Second Time in 2018[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Monsoon attracted 200 players to the virtual felt and saw them rebuy 56 times.

It was actually the second time this year “POTITOOOOOOO” won the Monsoon. Back on July 12, he topped a 154-entry field to win it for $2,170.[/COLOR] [B]Brazil’s “Rodrigosjc1” Victorious in Sunday Deepstack Monsoon[/B] [COLOR=#000000]Meanwhile, the $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon had 207 players who rebought 66 times, which meant a $13,650 prize pool was paid out to the top 27 spots. Among those to find a payday were Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (21st - $136.50), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (18th - $171), “PBD03” (10th - $239), and “siraa1” (4th - $1,194).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After Malta’s “facilmeudeus” bowed out in third place for $1,604, the title came down to Brazil’s “Rodrigosjc1” and Belarus’ “Gidrilla.” After just over nine hours in the tournament, the Brazilian prevailed to capture the $2,935 top prize.[/COLOR] [B]What to Expect Coming Up from 888poker[/B] [COLOR=#000000]This week, PokerGO Studios [/COLOR][URL]https://get.pokergo.com/trial/?code=PokerNews[/URL] [COLOR=#000000]will play host to Poker After Dark: 888poker Week, which consists of a pair of $10,000 buy-in Sit & Go tournaments each featuring an online qualifier squaring off against six poker professionals.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The poker pros are 888poker Ambassador Chris Moorman, Maria Ho, Jennifer Tilly, Bill Klein, Kelly Minkin and Eli Elezra.
