It took place in a $10 buy-in Sit & Go Hero tournament so the total prize pool swelled to an astronomical $100,000. The winner was set to scoop $60,000 while those finishing in second and third place banked $6,000 each, fourth place $3,000, an[...] Read more » Darek888888 Turns $10 Into $85,000 Playing Sit & Go Hero

many congratulation to the one and only hopefully not a partypoker insider Darek888888 for scooping a monster win of 85k. for a 10 dollaros investment this sure is a great achievement, probably which can only be compared to great dams beavers build with nothing but their tales and teeth.

We have to congratulate someone that goes all in with 8 2o and win the hand that will start his winnings with the $25,000.00 bounty.
I know that it is his money and he have the right of playing any cards he wants but i really don't like this kind of play which gave him a total of 85,000.00
What a nice hand, I hope this guy limped if not, ahhhhhhhhhh wthell. Anyway I think this game format is a nice way of not exact copying the jackpot sit n gos on PS. I've played some of them and they are very hard to win, not that I put that much effort. Probably ill play some if i have the right bankroll, until then it's better to try to win with other games.

It is very simple this game is a four players SNG hyper turbo and the buy in start at $1.00 and goes up to a max. of $20.00.
Small prizes are winner take all and if you hit a very big amount then the other players are getting a share of the amount like this one the second and third got 6K and the fourth 3K.
I am playing at least a few per day at $1.00 and i like it very much with my share of winnings.

Nice jackpot win. These kind of jackpots are nice as there is skill, luck and hard work involved. It enables poker players to hope for a big prize all while remaining basically the same game. This can be considered as an $85k win from a $10 bet unlike these slot winnings.
Of course he won it all with a terrible hand. This would not even be online texas hold'em if he did not feel the need to play out his unbeatable 8-2. 100k is a lot of things but astronomical isn't one of them...
