A British player named James ‘James23C' Carmichael is the latest one to join partypoker's circle of millionaires, thanks to him hitting a diamond flush and therefore getting the top tier $1M jackpot from just a $5 buy-in on SPINS on Tuesday.
On June 11, 2019, Tuesday, at 19:00 BST, the UK player was seated with ‘nilverlobo' of Peru and ‘elielalbiter' of Mexico at the SPINS $5 buy-in table, and a few moments later the much-awaited multiplier of 240,000x was triggered, prompting the three to seriously bring their best A-game possible in order to win the life-changing $1 million top prize. The second and third finishers would each receive a $100,000 payout for their efforts.
After eleven hands, Carmichael knocked out nilverlobo.
Carmichael had A-K
Nilverlobo got a pair of 9s
The board ran Q-10-7-A-K, giving Carmichael the upper hand thanks to his two pair.
With a 1,320-to-180 chip lead over his last opponent elielalbiter, it did not take him long to finish the tournament once and for all.
On just the 19th hand into the tournament, the final hand took place.
Carmichael held K-9 of diamonds
elielalbiter got a pair of 6s
The board showed 6 (diamond), 10, 4 (diamond), 8 (diamond), and K, giving Carmichael a diamond flush and so he wins the whopping $1 million prize.

As someone who mainly plays low-stakes tourneys at partypoker and a regular at the SPINS tables of the site, Carmichael honed his skills more at a university poker society, making himself comfortable in £5 and £10 buy-in games. He said when he won, "My life will never be the same again. When I realized I was playing for the million I thought, what is going on?!"
He called his close friends as the game unfolded and soon enough his phone was bombarded by nonstop calls all day from family and friends, congratulating him on his success.
Carmichael originally planned to visit the USA to join in on a Camp America holiday but now that he won big, he said that he will possibly exceed staying for more than two months at this point. Before going on this trip, he is hoping to celebrate with his friends.
Regarding on what he would do with his million-dollar windfall, Carmichael revealed he will invest the money to secure his future and will continue to play on partypoker.
Congratulations to Carmichael on winning an awesome $1 million from just a $5 buy-in!

partypoker's SPINS $1M tournaments are actually still ongoing, which means you can have the chance to become the next poker millionaire!
I like these games and i like when i see new millionaires here or in other place. It's beautiful and it would be nice if they do other games, in which they offer prizes of several thousand dollars. Good ideas attract players and the winners will be very happy.
you can imagine that feeling when you see on table message that you "fight" for 1 million dollars on table against only two players and that you only bit of luck to get few good cards to win it!ofcourse second and third place have great prizes,but 1 million is something special and to win with flush with only 5 $ is great!
yes It is of course very cool to put $ 5 and get a million dollars ..... this is something incredible ... but two other players got $ 100,000 each ... which is also a great prize given that they only invested 5 dollars in this game .... The first time this prize fell out .... I hope that not the last .... and maybe someday I will be able to get something like that .... this is of course just fantastic
They should not link that frequency meter into the bottom of the article because its downright discouraging at least for me to participate on these. I like PartyP as a company sometimes but their promotions are kinda ineffective to me.
Congratulations to this extremely lucky player from Great Britain. The highest multiplier I've ever had(not at Party) was 100x - I was happy - but to hit 240k multiplier is something extraordinary. I wonder, were they able to make a deal there?
Posted by Sandmanilo: I wonder, were they able to make a deal there?
it seems to me that making deals at that table was impossible .... otherwise it would have been easy for three people to agree that everyone gets a guaranteed prize of $ 333,000 .... I think each of them would agree to that ..... And therefore it would not be a game but simply luck from the super multiplier .... I think so
Dreams can come true for some, like the one that won this for only 5 USD buy in. And the player with the sixes must be still pissed with it. Got trips when the flop came, just by losing from a flush on the turn. Didnt get lucky on the river too. Something that will remember for quite some time
It's ugly when this happens and there are many money in the game. Regret is great but you have to thank yourself for what you received. The software is soft and you can not play with it. You're losing too much with him and to be won is much harder.
