PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel has handed out the largest single payout in its history, with a Pennsylvania player walking away $250,000 richer.
The win came in a $50 buy-in Spin & Go, the hyper-turbo sit-and-go format where prize multipliers are randomly assigned before play begins, ranging from 2x to as much as 10,000x the buy-in. Player “Jesuz1zBlac” scooped the entire prize under the winner-take-all structure of the three-handed event.
The payout equates to 5,000 times the original buy-in, a striking figure when compared to the WSOP Main Event, where the $10,000 buy-in champion earns roughly $10 million, or 1,000 buy-ins.
The victory occurred on July 16 and stands as the biggest payout recorded on PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel since the platform’s launch in April.
Other big-money opportunities remain available on the site. Although the $5 Spin & Goal promotion is wrapping up following Spain’s World Cup win over Argentina, the associated $1 million jackpot for $5 Spin & Gos continues, offering the potential for a 200,000x return.
New users, including existing FanDuel Casino and Sports customers who have not previously played poker on the platform, can claim six free $5 Spin & Go tickets with no deposit required. PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel is currently live in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ontario, and has also hosted events such as the $100,000 guaranteed Sunday Dynasty tournament and the $5 million guaranteed Ignite Series.
