PokerStars Ambassador Shares Insights Into ‘Donk3399’ $2m Sit & Go Win

An online poker player from Germany scooped a massive $2 million jackpot after playing Spin & Go at PokerStars. It was the second largest single amount ever won by a player at the online poker site, and the astonishing victory was witnessed by PokerStars ambassador and OP-Poker founder Nick Walsh.

Walsh saw how “Donk3399” was able to capture the massive jackpot in less than 15 minutes while he was streaming the game on his Twitch channel. Walsh said he was in shock and felt a sense of wonderment upon witnessing the huge win.

Walsh usually plays mid-stakes Spin & Gos and also had some success in the game, having previously hit a jackpot himself. While Spin & Go has become an increasingly popular format, many players still lack knowledge on the best strategy to conquer the game.

By streaming his plays, Walsh aims to let his growing community know that the format involves a robust strategy and understanding of the game will help players do better.
