I was playing this Big Bang Freeroll and was ITM with 2,585 players left and then it froze we were all waiting for around 20min. and the break come i had a little bit more than 12K. chips.
After the break still frozen for a while then it come back i had only a little bit over 1k chips it was so fast that i don't know how much were blinds and ante i had A 10s and hit a flush won the pot with many players all-in.
My last hand i had over 100k in chips and not covering the blinds i had no choice of calling and the hand was not over yet than a message came the tournament has been cancelled and your account was credited for $11.24.
Congratz on the win 888 always has some issues with there software. I guess you wanted the tournament to continue playing for some bigger prizes with 100K chip stack. Good Luck with future 888 freerolls.
hahahah I was in that tournament too but I actually forgot to play it and when I logged on 888poker the tournament was bugged (like you said). Somehow I had 3k chips but blinds were huge so I left it on to see what would happen. I think I only got a 30 cent min cash though lol

Many congratulations to you on your win and, for a freeroll, a nice little pick up of $11.24. Its always very frustrating when a tournament freezes especially when you are doing well in one. Well done again to you

these tournaments at 888 are pure luck , all the players are waiting for them to come A , or K , and then all in, there is no other way to play poker on the 888 , I have free tickets for these tournaments , I received a minimum prize 8 cents , 16 cents

Well done PINOTTE. Annoying when successful tourneys get bugged or obliterated for some reason. I'm not sure how much you could have won in this tournament but $11 will keep you going for a while longer I guess. The 888 tourneys are a real luck bucket of a game to play but sometimes worth it of you can stick it out!
Good Luck with future
