It's not a timeout issue or any other issue my end afaik.
This has been an issue for at least five years.

Hello everyone,

Just moments before we crown our next WSOP Main Event Champion, we wanted to remind you there’s always a losing side…
Check out this fascinating piece by Michael Kaplan, with his thoughts on finishing in 2nd place.

“When I interviewed poker icon Stu Ungar, just months before his motel-room death in 1998, he told me that he had no tolerance for second place.
He likened anything but first place, in just about anything, to being synonymous with losing and finishing at the bottom.

“People tell me that I should be a good loser,” he explained, enjoying a brief moment of clarity before he sunk back into the narcotic haze that dogged him for much of his later life.
“But if you’re a good loser, you’re still a loser. It’s not something that I can ever take.” “

You must wager the transferred amount one time to clear it for withdrawal.

Hey everyone,



The 2017 World Series of Poker, which was once again sponsored by us here at 888poker, was one for the record books.

With 120,995 entrants and $231,010,874 in prize money awarded over 74 events, it proved to be the largest WSOP in its 48-year history.



After more than ten days of play spread over two weeks, New Jersey’s Scott Blumstein emerged victorious to capture poker’s most prestigious title and an $8.15 million first-place prize.
We at 888poker were thrilled to support Blumstein on his way to winning poker’s ultimate prize.

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

THIS WEEK: July 23, 2017

Jonathan Van Fleet Denied Whale Title by “ribamech15”

The biggest buy-in event of the weekend, the $1,050 Whale, surpassed its guarantee by $30K as 108 players accounted for 42 rebuys to create a $150,000 prize pool. Among the 15 players to earn part of it were “S.Janowski” (15th for $3,150), “mvp2b” (6th for $7,875), “Imyurfriend” (4th for $13,875), and “luckyr1ver” (4th for $13,875).

After nearly nine hours, it was Russia’s “ribamech15” who prevailed over Canada’s Jonathan “chut_up” Van Fleet to win $37,500. It marked the second win in seven weeks for “ribamech15,” who on June 2 won the Crocodile for $3,300.
“Nikas3274” Wins Monsoon for Second Time in Six Weeks

The $55 buy-in, $20,000 guarantee Monsoon attracted 487 players and created a $24,350 prize pool. Some of the 63 players to cash were “Mr.Fonzi” (39th for 121.75), “T.NAPOLEAO” (15th for $243.50), Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (5th for $1,339.25), and “vitola99” (4th for $1,899.30).

After seven hours and 21 minutes, the tournament came down to Germany’s “durrrrchfall” and Russia’s “Nikas3274,” and it was the latter who prevailed to claim a $4,626 prize. It marked the second time in less than two months that “Nikas3274” won the Monsoon, having done so on June 8 by topping a field of 299 players for $2,673.
“gioriz” Wins Turbo Mega Deep

The $215 buy-in Turbo Mega Deep attracted 138 players who accounted for 54 rebuys, which surpassed the $30K GTD by creating a $38,400 prize pool. Among the 18 players to get paid were Sweden’s Robin “Inho” Ylitalo (17th for $787.20), “Annyjar” (11th for $864), “floatmasta” (7th for $1,536), and Anton “B.Mitchell” Wigg (4th for $3,456), who was at his second major final table of the day.

Given it was a turbo event, it took “gioriz”, just over four hours to take down the $8,832 first-place prize.
“kiskutya23” Rides a Lightning Bolt

On Sunday, the $109 buy-in Sunday Lightning drew 168 players who accounted for 108 rebuys. That surpassed the advertised $20,000 guarantee by creating a $27,600 prize pool, which was distributed among the top 24 finishers. Among those to cash were XL Inferno Event #155 champ “Fukuruku” (19th for 262.20), “MacGyver888” (11th for $483), and “prebzzz” (5th for $1,794).

After seven hours and 43 minutes of play, “kiskutya23” bested “GramNaKartke” in heads-up play to capture a top prize of $4,567.80. It was a bit of redemption, or at least a nice score, for “GramNaKartke,” who back in May stone bubbled the XL Inferno $2,100 High Roller. As for “kiskutya23,” it was another win following his March 23rd victory in the 2,000 Super Turbo Swordfish.
Kafrou “Kafrou” Thessaloni Slays Crocodile for Greece

Another tournament that surpassed its guarantee on Sunday was the $160 buy-in Crocodile. Instead of the $25K GTD, a $34,500 prize pool was on tap as 230 players took to the virtual felt. Just 36 players earned a piece of it including “MalakiasCF” (31st for $258.75), the aforementioned “Fukuruku” (27th for $293.25), XL Infernon Mega Deep runner-up “cuadrado12” (6th for $1,552.50), and Brazil’s “R.nahntanoJ” (3rd for $3,898.50).

In the end, Greece’s Kafrou “Kafrou” Thessaloni beat out Sweden’s “IAmWelfare” to win the title and a $7,055.25 first-place prize.
What to watch out for:


The “Champion-Chips” micro series, which features buy-ins ranging from $1-$50, kicked off on Sunday and will host 18 events with $150,000 in guaranteed prize prizes through July 30. Simply look under “Tournaments” to find the “ChampionChips” tab for all events and satellites.

Same thing happens to me. It's really annoying because when you're 6 tabling you need to leave a table to open the new one. It's very disruptive I just figured it happened to everybody.

888Rep do you still approve the use of 888Caption2 or have you reconsidered since the date you made a post about it here?
My account got closed after 2 months of using 888Caption2 due to suspicions that my game play may indicate the use of Artificial Intelligence...

As far as I am aware we still have it approved but please also check with the owner of 888Caption2 in case he has been told any different.

It depends how much you want to gamble but playing both for a while would tell you where you stand.
