Three lucky players walked away with a share of $1,000,000 on 888poker after the million-dollar jackpot hit. The three players - two from Canada and one from the UK - were playing at the $100 buy-in 888poker BLAST tables when they were suddenly met with the enormous prize pool. The BLAST Sit & Go took less than ten minutes, and after the dust settled here is what the players walked away with, all from just a $100 buy-in.
- "Mikaxe" - $700,000
- "ayemaxx08" - $200,000
- "aatorblood13" - $100,000
Winners' Reaction - "I couldn't believe it!"
888poker spoke with the lucky players after their windfall, with one saying that they couldn't believe it.
"I only realised it was true the next day - I had won the jackpot!" they said. "I'm super excited and can't thank [888poker] enough!"
Another said that they won the jackpot despite only playing occasionally at weekends, proving that anyone can win with 888poker's BLAST Sit & Go tournaments.
