Message: [QUOTE="888Rep, post: 5078855, 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: March 31, 2019[/B] [B]Andrew “TakeTheRide” Neeme Streams Worldwide on 888poker![/B] [COLOR=#000000]From March 28-31, popular vlogger Andrew Neeme, who has over 110,000 subscribers on YouTube, took his popular meet-up games worldwide while streaming on 888poker from Calgary, Canada. For three days, Neeme played a variety of stakes and games, which included a “home game” on Saturday night.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Additionally, Neeme was on the Sunday grind participating in some of 888poker’s premiere online tournaments under his “TakeTheRide.” That included firing a bullet in the $55 buy-in Rake or Break Monsoon, a tournament that drew 265 players who rebought 69 times. Neeme wound up making a deep run in it ultimately finishing in 17th place for $183.70.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Neeme also played in the $530 Whale and $109 Sunday Challenge, though he fell short of cashing in both of them. Still, it was an exciting run for Neeme’s legion of fans as they were truly taken for a ride as he flirted with capturing an 888poker title![/COLOR] [B]Canada’s Tim “REALTTWIST” Kelly Wins Sunday Mega Deep[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $215 buy-in Sunday Mega Deep had 313 players rebuy 129 times in their quest to capture a portion of a $100,000 prize pool. Among the top 45 finishers to make the money were “Namlleh” (29th - $650), Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskyi (24th - $750), Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (14th - $1,250), “GuvGuv37” (6th - $4,400), and “inkhole” (3rd - $11,000).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 10 hours and 38 minutes, it was Canada’s Tim “REALTTWIST” Kelly besting Mexico’s “TonyCipolla9” in heads-up play to win the title and accompanying $19,350 first-place prize. It was actually the second time Kelly has won the Mega Deep having done so back on November 19, 2017.[/COLOR] [B]“ThEtRaIN96” Wins Rake or Break Whale for Second Time in a Month[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $530 buy-in Rake or Break Whale had a $100,000 target but fell short when 141 players rebought 35 times to generate an $88,000 prize pool. Among those to compete in the rakefree tournament but fall short of the money were Neeme, Sam “sammygrinder” Grafton, and 888poker Ambassadors Martin “MJacobson888” Jacobson and Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The top 18 players got paid including “bybababy” (15th - $1,892), “plomaha” (9th - $2,200), Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson (6th - $4,400), and Anton “anteen” Bertilsson (4th - $7,920). After “alwayswin111” bowed out in third place for $10,692, the title came down to “ThEtRaIN96” and “IggyGak.” It took 7 hours and 23 minutes but eventually the former prevailed to take down the $20,240 first-place prize.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Back on March 3, “ThEtRaIN96” topped a 92-entry field to win the $530 Whale for $15,812.50 meaning he won one of 888poker’s most prestigious titles two times in the same month.[/COLOR] [B]“888topPair” Denies “DeuceofDuc0” Rake or Break Sunday Challenge Title[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $109 buy-in Rake or Break Challenge had a $27,500 target and nearly hit is by drawing 210 players who rebought 58 times. That meant a $26,800 prize pool was up for grabs and it was all rakefree. Among the top 27 players to get a piece of it were “Namlleh” (22nd - $268), “JamzMTL” (14th - $402), “creature94” (7th - $1,072), “ZDamian” (4th - $2,345), and “todacage” (3rd - $3,149).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 7 hours and 51 minutes in the tournament, “888topPair” defeated “DeuceofDuc0,” who back in mid-February won the Whale and on March 10 took down the Mega Deep for nearly $20K, in heads-up play to win $5,762.[/COLOR] [B]“xxAYADxx” Weathers the Rake or Break Monsoon to Win $3,415[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $55 buy-in Rake or Break Monsoon had a $17,500 target, but it failed to hit as 265 players rebought 69 times to create a $16,700 prize pool. That meant the tournament became rake free![/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]The top 36 players got paid including “Pokerpatch” (25th - $141.95), “nlfreddie” (15th - $225.45), “kory1977” (9th - $317.30), “imnumerouno” (4th - $1,419.50), and “dyonvlaar12” (4th - $1,887.10). After 7 hours and 17 minutes, “xxAYADxx” defeated “icho90” in heads-up play to win the title and $3,415.15 top prize.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]It was a bit of redemption for “xxAYADxx,” who earlier this month finished second in the $88 Sunday PKO 8-Max for $1,748 plus $1,523 in bounties.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]On Their Way to Vegas![/COLOR] [B]Pascal “Paeffchen” Hartmann & “HeadsUpChump” Win Way to WSOP Main Event[/B] [COLOR=#000000]Remember, every Sunday at 20:30 GMT now through June, 888poker will host a $1,050 “WSOP 2019 Main Event Package Qualifier.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Those who win their way into the 2019 World Series of Poker Main Event will be awarded a prize package valued at $12,600.
