“iVolsh” & “morphineS8” Each Win Two Titles in a Day

Winning two titles is impressive. But to do it in a single day pushes the accomplishment over the top. Amazingly, two players did it this week!

On Wednesday, Ukrain’es “iVolsh” navigated a 312-entry field to win the 888Millions $16.50 PKO - $5,000 GTD for $1,074.51. He then proceeded to best 861 entries and win the $7.50 PKO 8-Max - $6,000 GTD for $1,091.54.

It’s also worth noting that “Jesusisback” almost accomplished the feat as well. But his two title wins – both in the 888Millions $109 Mega Deep – came in back-to-back nights.

On Wednesday, he topped a 97-entry field to win it for $3,600. On the following night, he came out on top of a 110-entry field to win an additional $3,300.

Ukraine’s “yarik1903” Wins Sunday Special for $19,350

Sunday was special. The aptly titled $215 buy-in Sunday Special was live reported by PokerNews. It was also live-streamed on 888poker’s Facebook and YouTube channel.

The tournament saw 345 players rebuy 113 times, which meant the top 45 finishers got paid. Among those to cash were “ErwannP” (38^th - $600), Sam “sammygrinder” Grafton (16^th - $1,000).

Our very own 888poker Ambassador, Dominik “888Dominik” Nitsche finished a respectable 12^th for $1,500.

At the final table, Ben “xLIVEPROx” Warrington was the first to fall. He lost a race with ace-king against the pocket jacks of “Holdababy”.

One big hand that helped propel “yarik1903” to the win came with six players remaining. That is when both “TKaliber” and “KToFTW” got their chips in preflop against the eventual champ.

“TKaliber”: 6♥6♣

“KToFTW”: Q♦Q♠

“yarik1903”: A♥K♠

The board ran out 4♠J♦7♠8♠9♠ and “yarik1903” four flushed with the king of spades to score the elimination.
