A $5 buy-in PokerStars Spin & Go tournament produced an extraordinary payday after the game’s random jackpot multiplier landed on an ultra-rare 240,000x, turning the modest stakes into a $1.2 million prize pool. The odds of this specific multiplier being triggered were just 0.10 in a million.
Three players found themselves at the table when the jackpot hit: “KuCoH” of Belarus, Brazil’s “malakaio300,” and Denmark’s “dillerfar19.” Under PokerStars’ payout structure, any multiplier of 25x or higher guarantees a payout to all three entrants, meaning even the first player eliminated was assured $80,000.
“KuCoH” was the first to exit, calling an all-in holding king-seven against “malakaio300’s” jack-deuce. A deuce on the board sealed the elimination, but not before locking in the guaranteed $80,000 payday.
That result also secured $120,000 for the runner-up in the now heads-up matchup. “malakaio300” built an early 2:1 chip advantage, but “dillerfar19” clawed back after turning king-queen into trip kings against the Brazilian’s pocket fives.
The chip lead swapped hands again before the decisive all-in confrontation. “malakaio300” shoved with king-eight from the button, and “dillerfar19” made the call holding pocket sevens, setting up a coinflip for the entire top prize.
A seven-high flop gave “dillerfar19” a set, and a jack on the turn left “malakaio300” drawing dead. Another seven on the river completed a needless quad-kings finish, confirming “dillerfar19” as PokerStars’ newest millionaire from a $5 investment.
