Seems like Sharkscope tracked it.

I wonder how he came up with the money? Roll on the table, I guess?

So I guess it's safe to say he was taking a "shot" by playing a $5 sng?

For things like this is that people say that poker is rigged. Seriously, having a guy that doesn't play for real money at all (probably don't play more than 10 USD a week/month) suddenly take a 5 shot and landing 1 mill?

Is like you playing play money/free bets at the slots (not sure if real?) At the casino, suddenly playing a real money spin and hitting it big time?

LoL

I've only seen this at the end of oceans thirteen fwiw

250k-250k-700k would be better than 1-.1-.1

well...if you consider a different angle, it could have a similar effect to the moneymaker win at time. Everyone can become a millionaire with a small investment

Nah, not rigged. They just wonder where his syndicate got the money to pay the programmer that wrote the undetectable program which enables him to see the community cards before everyone else. And if stars is going to watch players transfer history moving forward...just for the heck of it

Does he have to "play through it" before withdrawing?

Sick timing too, with the exchange rate collapse he'll be getting almost twice as many roubles for his million USD than he would have done 6 months ago

I wonder if he's bothered that he'll have to pay stars $25k to cash it out to a russian bank

I thought Spin N Go sounded like fun so i gave it a shot last week. I played 5 times and the payout was $10 4 times and $20 once. I won 3 of the 10 buck game and quit up but there must be a hell of a lot of people playing it for Stars to be able to pay out that 1.2 million.

I have a feeling that your philosophy might change if you were ever in the position of playing for 180,000x your buyin in a tournament. Even if not, all players involved would have to agree to it, and their decision, whatever it is, isn't a negative for anyone else.

They should really have better payouts or allow for deals. Something like

1- 750k
2-300k
3- 150k

I mean this is for 5 dollars, flattin the structure out a bit with this much money on the line ffs.
