Turing a small investment into a large score is one of the reasons tournament poker is so popular. But what about turning $0.00 into a four and five-figure sum? Now that is impressive.

That is exactly what 888poker players “happyhour1” and “Biggblue” did on July 18. This is the date 888poker launched the $2,100 buy-in $100K Gtd Big Shot High Roller. The tournament proved popular with 44 players buying in and purchasing 10 re-entries between them, which resulted in a $108,000 prize pool.

Two players will remember the inaugural Big Shot High Roller fondly, and it is not the two players who struck a deal when heads-up.
