Congratulations to tge player from Belarus, he won over 1/4 of a million, so he can now buy a nice house for himself, since it is big money when you are living in Belarus. When i llok in top 9 places i always am sad seeing 9th place guy getting 10-20, this time 15 times less than the winner, he also outplayed so many players yet got very little compared to 1st place.
Belarus is a lot of money ... so if this person does not start crazy to spend money, then he has a great chance to change your life .. unless of course it is not really the Belarusian oligarch)) In any case, great job

From the buy ins the are about even in money with the prizes awarded. And they must have got something also from qualifiers if they had any. For 1k buy in, it was a very good prize for the first place.

Huge congratulations to Enigmasility on taking down $1,500,000 Super XL main event on 888poker! I wonder what "enigmasility" means. Is it a portmanteau - a made-up word coined from a combination of the words?

Still cannot believe that 888 allows people playing/registering from Belarus but says no to hungarians and many other EU countries. Madness at it's best.

Well they have started exiting as many markets as they can, with the new regulations all over the world. If they leave "russia" too, how many players will they have? They will pay eventually to keep a healthy number of players.
