$188K Jackpot Winner at WinADay Casino Tempted to Quit Her Job

It's fun to imagine what we would do with a big jackpot win. We dream up beautiful houses, luxury vacations or the satisfaction of quitting your job in a memorable way! I imagine that all of these thoughts went through the mind of WinADay Casino (http://www.winadaycasino.eu) player, Kelly S. after she recently won a $188,597 jackpot playing the popular Enchanted Gems slot game.

“I’ve been waiting for this my whole life and it actually happened!” Kelly told a customer service rep at WinADay.  “I won a holiday to Disneyland once, but that was so long ago I can’t remember it very well! Still I guess I’m just kinda lucky.”

Although quitting her job did cross her mind, she ultimately decided to keep it since she actually loves her job. So what is one to do with a $188K jackpot win? Well, Kelly has some plans of her own.

“This puts my savings through the roof, so I can get a house with a bigger kitchen and bigger yard,” Kelly said. “I’m a chef and I love my job. But I’ve always dreamed of winning a huge jackpot and never working again. Now I don’t know -- maybe I’ll just take some vacation!”

“When I lived in Atlantic City," Kelly Continued, "I used to play the slot machines all the time. When I moved to a place where there aren’t any casinos, I started playing online at Winaday.”

“The jackpot was getting pretty big again, so I had a feeling it was going to be won soon,” said WinADay’s casino manager, Michael Hilary. “We’re so pleased that it was won by a player who’s played with us so much for so long!”

WinADay Casino has been entertaining players around the world for more than ten years.  The unique online casino offers a wide selection of premium slots, penny slots and video poker as well as Keno and Roulette. Options for quick and easy deposits and withdrawals include cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin).

Most of the premium slots at WinADay are tied to the casino’s site-wide progressive jackpot. It was last hit earlier this year, in January, with a record-breaking $329,861 prize amount.

Kelly has some advice for other players: “Winaday gives lots of bonuses. Always play the bonuses!! Even if you just make a small deposit you can get more for your money.”

To celebrate Kelly’s good fortune, WinADay is giving 

all players a bonus for the Enchanted Gems game!

Online Players Strike Out at TKPT St Maarten but Enjoy Some Fun-in-the-Sun

On my Living the Dream poker blog I followed five online players (Chris Perkins, Tim O’Keefe, John Curcuru, Elena Stover and Gabor Krecso) competing in the TKPT St Maarten tournament in the Caribbean April 27 – May 1.  Although none of the team survived Day 2 of the three-day tournament – not even Elena Stover who came to the Caribbean right after her second place ($148,000) second place finish at the Borgata Million in Atlantic City the week before – they did enjoy some fun-in-the-sun. And a couple of the group’s friends did advance to the final table.

Chris’ buddy Brian Kulp not only survived Day 2, but he went into the Final Table as the chip leader.  Akash Mazumdar, who won his way to TKPT St Maarten in an Intertops satellite tournament last year, returned to defend his title and ended up hanging out with the Living the Dream team quite a bit. He went on to win the tournament for the second time.  Kulp was more than pleased with his 4th place finish and the $670 he took home to Pittsburgh with him.

During the Day 2 dinner break, John Curcuru talked about an unusual ruling that almost through him off but, in the end, worked in his favor.

“It was a natural raise in any kind of casino any place else but the dealer said right away ‘sir, that’s not a raise’.  I was unhappy with the ruling, but it turned out to be in my favor because the guy to my left had pocket Kings and he was just waiting for the ruling to be over with!”

“On day 2 of the TKPT Main Event, I had an amazing table draw,” said Chris Perkins, one of the five Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker players that won their way to TKPT St Maarten in online satellite tournaments.  “I was opening a lot of pots and taking them down without showdown.  I chipped up from 37k to over 55k within the first 30 minutes.  I then ran into a hand that defined my tournament.  The villain limped from MP.  He had been playing like an amateur, limping a lot and folding to 3 bets and cbets too often.  The CO was a competent player that had 10BB remaining at 400/800.  He goes all in behind the limper and I have 55 in the BB.  Because I was so deep and knew there was a good chance the original limper would fold, I decided to call and take a flip against the short stack.  But the original limper decided to call behind.  The flop came Qx5s4x.  We hit our set and were loving life.  At this point, I am just praying the original limper has some sort of Queen because I knew he could never get away from it.  I check.  He bets 15K into a 30K+ pot.  I call with about 30K behind.  The turn was the 3 of spades (Qx 5s 4x 3s).  I made a small donk bet of 10K on the turn and he called fairly quickly.   I decide to check and hope to get to showdown, but the original limper wasted no time going all in for another 20K and putting our entire stack at risk.  There was 100K in the pot including his river all in!   I didn’t think this player would be smart enough to bluff this river so I decided to muck my hand.  The villain turns over 10 10, the short stack mucking his hand, and said ‘I knew the only way I could win the hand was by bluffing.’  He was defiantly right and I like his river jam.”

“If that river is any other card besides a deuce, I would have been cruising through day 2 as chip leader or close to it,” he said.  “I ended up getting knocked out of the tournament soon after this hand and although I was disappointed, I was at a beautiful resort in St. Maarten, so I couldn’t complain too much.!”

John Curcuru played a lot of poker over 3 days but said one of the most interesting hands was with Chris Perkins, another Intertops satellite winner.

Tomorrow we’ll have the final episode of Living the Dream: TKPT St Maarten which will feature final results of the tournament.
