“Romeopro33” on his XL Eclipse win -

“I was running bad in big tournaments. I had 40 bullets without a cash in $5K+ buy-in tournaments.
This final event made three weeks of grinding +EV, which is amazing. I’m really happy with that and enjoyed it a lot.”, Said Romanovskyi.

Hello 888. Do you plan to come back to Poland and when you plan? PokerStars, PartyPoker and several poker rooms are still available. I think that just like iPoker, MPN, you are too scared of our right! Have you ever wondered why PokerStars and PartyPoker are still available in our country? Maybe you should consider returning?

Welcome to 888poker’s Weekly Deal, with all the best news, results and insights from the past week.

THIS WEEK: September 30, 2018



XL Eclipse Main Event Champ Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy Wins the Whale

It’s been a good week for Ukraine’s Roman “Romeopro33” Romanovskiy. Last week, he took down the XL Eclipse Main Event for $187,500, and this Sunday he topped a 68-entry field (48 unique + 20 re-entries) to win the $1,050 buy-in, $50K GTD Whale.

Among those to compete for a piece of the $68,000 prize pool were Stephen “Kale333” Van Zadelhoff, Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy, and Simon “Isildur1337x” Mattsson, though none of them cashed.

Just the top six go paid including “trino11” (6th - $3,740), “MisterN411” (5th - $5,100), “StuntSoHard” (4th - $6,800), and “radasahk” (3rd - $10,200). After just over six hours, Romanovskiy defeated the UK’s “Dioszilla” in heads-up play to win $25,160.

“Ronaldo4112” Comes Out on Top in Sunday Mega Deep
The $215 buy-in, $80K GTD Sunday Mega Deep saw 320 players rebuy 163 times to surpass the guarantee with a $96,600 prize pool. Among the top 40 finishers to win a piece of it were 888poker Ambassador Parker “888tonkaaaa” Talbot (28th - $647), Mike “Pipedream17” Dietrich (16th - $1,449), Vickers95” (10th - $1,932), and “NoMamesWeyyy” (4th - $7,728).

After Arseniy “josef_shvejk” Karmatskiy bowed out in third place for $10,626, the title came down to Finland’s “VALIUM4WIN” – a recent XL Eclipse champ ( he won Event #22: $50,000 Quarterback for $10,954) – and Malta’s “Ronaldo4112.” After more than 11 hours, the latter came out on top to win an $18,837 first-place prize.

GREAT 8 Ends with Heads-Up Deal
The $88 buy-in, $15,000 GTD Sunday GREAT 8 easily surpassed its guarantee by attracting 180 players who rebought 62 times. That created a $19,360 prize pool paid out to the top 24 spots including “Nemekiss” (21st - $242), “YSoSerious7” (9th - $436), “ZDamian” (7th - $678), and “VnilaVader” (3rd - $2,323).

After 7 hours and 21 minutes, a heads-up deal was struck between Ukraine’s “psyhoagromor” and Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” struck a heads-up deal in which the former took the title and $4,008 in prize money and the latter $3,204.

Back in April, “psyhoagromor” took down the XL Inferno Opening Event for $22,266.

Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” Finds Redemption in Deepstack Monsoon

While he officially finished second in the Sunday GREAT 8, Lithuania’s “Iamtrying” got a title in the $55 buy-in, $10K GTD Sunday Deepstack Monsoon, which drew 180 players who rebought 58 times. The 238-entry field generated an $11,900 prize pool paid out to the top 27 finishers including “carbondating” (26th - $119), “Vulpe3” (13th - $179), “ChipsFool” (8th - $357), and “ghandivan” (3rd - $1,398).

After 8 hours and 35 minutes, “Iamtrying” defeated Russia’s “pokanuktus” in heads-up play to capture the $2,559 top prize.

Lightning Strikes Sweden’s “Raegar97”
The $55 buy-in Lightning 6-Max drew 83 players who rebought 43 times, which meant the $5,000 GTD was surpassed as a $6,300 prize pool was on tap. The top dozen finishers got a piece of it including “IHaveAsthma” (9th - $236), “ZeroNineee” (5th - $441), and “Grozzorg” (3rd - $882).

After 6 hours and 33 minutes in the tournament, Sweden’s “Raegar97” prevailed over Ukraine’s “Enthusiast99” in heads-up play to win a $1,717 top prize. The Ukrainian received $1,150 for his runner-up finish.

What to watch out for:

The 888poker LIVE London is heading to Aspers for a poker festival from November 22 through December 3.
The stop is comprised of 10 events culminating in a £1,100 buy-in, £400K GTD Main Event, which will offer five starting flights and run from Thursday, November 29 through Monday, December 3.

The winner of the Main Event will also claim an 888poker LIVE package for a future festival of his or her choice.

The festival is expected to attract players from across the world, including several making the trek from across the pond including 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Scott Blumstein, 2009 WSOP champ and four-time bracelet winner Joe Cada, 2018 WSOP Main Event runner-up Tony Miles and 3-time (!) winner of the $50K entry WSOP Poker Player’s Championship, a legend of the game – Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi.

It can take up tp 3 days for an answer!! If you still haven't recieved a reply by tomorrow morning then please contact me!!

 

[PsychoVas]

That "up to 3 days" part really sucks...
I do not receive tickets for the "Royal Crown" promo for the last 2 to 3 days and those tourneys are only once per day. Thus, the longer the answer/solution takes, the more tourneys I do not play.
And as a topping, my level status disappeared...

Canada withdrawal

Hi. I have a smallish amount on 888 that i would like to withdraw. In the cashier section, it only lists wire transfer as an option. Is that correct or are there other option I’m not seeing. Also what is the fee for wire transfer, I couldn’t find it anywhere. I live in Canada. Thanks.

You can pm the info or if you require more info than this.

Thanks!

In the God of the Arena challenge: Do you have to eliminate the 2 players in the SAME valid tournament and/or Sit n Go or can you eliminate 1 in a Tourney and 1 in a Sit n Go?

For example I played 2 Sit n Go and I eliminated 1 player in each Sit n Go but I haven't received a ME satellite freeroll ticket yet.

 

[nop9gok]

great room, flexible bonus policy, for beginners and recreational players will do.

 

[lilu80]

Can you ask for my question 888 or maybe is it too difficult for you?

Hello 888. Do you plan to come back to Poland and when you plan? PokerStars, PartyPoker and several poker rooms are still available. I think that just like iPoker, MPN, you are too scared of our right! Have you ever wondered why PokerStars and PartyPoker are still available in our country? Maybe you should consider returning?

[Astokato]

I'm waiting for a reply for my account, because I believe you are scammers if you do not answer me seriously. so I'm waiting for your reply here or in my e-mail. I will publish the result. And not only.

No plans at the moment I'm afraid!!

My poker client has unprompted, just shut down and disappeared of its own accord, 3 times in the last 24 hours

 

[MatMackenz]

I have found an annoying bug in your mobile software. Sometimes the bet slider will not show up and the only options I will have are to Fold, call or to Min-Bet!! Sometimes its just Fold or Call but no re-raise.

Today I have TT and I am unable to shove all-in, and am forced to limp or min-bet, which attracts multiple callers to the hand. This was a clear shove situation and I had no choice. This was not the first time this has happened either.

I have attached screenshot so you can visualize the issue at hand. This is a clear SHOVE with just over 4BB.

I am from Canada and the Wire transfer is only option available to me also.

Wire Transfer will have fees charged from your bank usually around 10$-15$ CAD. 888 may or may not charge a fee on top of this.

If you only have a small amount (under 30$ USD) it would maybe not be the best idea to withdraw with wire transfer as you will lose the majority of it to the fees.
