One lucky partypoker player recently turned a $100 SPINS entry into a $1.2 million jackpot.
The player known as “AfterH0urs” bought into the three-handed tournament along with “patotecomoherma” and “YIYOOO”. A short time later a massive payout headed his way.
The quick-action sit and go tournament turned into a dream come true. The feat brought the ultimate online poker payout and some life-changing money.

Winning big at partypoker
SPINS are partyopker’s version of jackpot-style sit and go. The winner-take-all tournaments play quickly with the prize pool determined randomly before play begins.
Win multipliers range from 2x a player’s buy-in to 240,000x. Prize pools can reach as high as $1.2 million for SPINS priced for as little as $5.
The tournament can also award players with prize packages to partypoker LIVE events and online festivals.
Heads-up for seven figures
The latest $1 million jackpot event saw two players remaining after YIYOOO was knocked out on the fifth hand. AfterH0urs and patotecomoherma both held even chip stacks at 5.5 big blinds going into the deciding hand.
Patotecomoherma shoved all in holding K-4 off-suit from the button and AfterH0urs called with A-6 off-suit. The flop came out A-9-5, giving AfterH0urs top pair.
The turn brought a 4, giving Patotecomoherma bottom pair and only five outs going into the river. When a 6 came on the river, the board gave AfterH0urs two pair and sealed the victory for a cool million bucks.
That huge payout, however, was a fact that the winning player was unaware of at the time. AfterH0urs didn’t realize how high the jackpot was when he began playing the tournament.
“It seemed like just a standard morning,” AfterH0urs said after the win. “I was playing around 10-11 tables and did not even notice the jackpot for quite some time.
“I continued with my multiple table gameplay and a single, slightly different, table finally caught my attention. I checked the prize pool and could not believe my eyes … $1.2 million.”
The new millionaire quickly focused and used the skills he’d learned through playing many other SPINS.
“I focused on the table, applied the tactics and decisions I knew were profitable, and I managed to win,” AfterH0urs said. “What is next you ask? Proper investment and a little bit of fun enjoying life!”
