888poker Summer Sale Week

The decision by 888poker to slash the buy-ins of some of the online poker site's most popular tournaments has gone down a storm, with each of the tournaments surpassing their guarantees.

888poker players are taking full advantage of half-price tournament buy-ins and will continue to do so over the weekend when they get to play for a share of a guaranteed $100,000 for only $55 in the Mystery Bounty Main Event.

On June 22, 84 players purchased 23 re-entries between them for a total attendance of 107 in the $12,000 Summer Sale Big Shot 320. Usually, this tournament is reserved for those with a bankroll large enough to sustain a $320 hit, but the Summer Sale Week promotion meant those entrants only paid $160 to play this event.

The top 12 finishers shared the $16,050 prize pool, a min-cash weighing in at $441 and a few cents. The final table payouts ranged from $521 up to $4,373.

Brazil's "M.Flush.N" was the first of the finalists to bow out. "CARRAMROD" joined the Brazilin on the rail after collecting $682 for their eighth-place finish.

A flurry of bust outs saw "PotofGreed" of Malta bust in sixth for $842, "BeHappyyy" crash out in fifth for $1,123, and "steraz2398" reel in a $1,524 score for their fourth-place finish.

The value-packed tournament progressed to the heads-up stage when "9saymon" ran out of steam in third, which was good enough for a bankroll-boosting $2,247 payout.

Two Canadians contested heads-up: "beebsterizer" and "Acespace911." Both players locked in almost $3,000, but "Acespace911" fell at the final hurdle and had to make do with the $2,969 runner-up prize, which left "beebsterizer" to capture the title and $4,373 for their efforts.
