A poker player won 5,000 times the buy-in, setting a new record for the highest payout in PokerStars on FanDuel history.

PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel paid out the highest single payout of $250,000, with a lucky player winning 5,000 times their buy-in in the $50 Spin & Go, setting a new record.

PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel just paid out the largest single payout in the operator’s short history, giving a Pennsylvania poker player an instant $250,000.

This massive $250,000 prize came from a $50 buy-in Spin & Go tournament—an ultra-fast single-table tournament with prizes randomly distributed, ranging from 2 to 10,000 times the buy-in. The six-figure prize was won by "Jesuz1zBlac," who pocketed the entire winnings due to the winner-takes-all format.

Those with a knack for numbers will recognize that this means the lucky player won the three-player tournament, earning a prize equivalent to 5,000 times the buy-in.

A major breakout for PokerStars FanDuel

Winning a 5,000x buy-in is no easy feat. For comparison, the winner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $10,000 Main Event receives $10,000,000 – which is equivalent to only 1,000x the buy-in.

This victory occurred on July 16th. According to PokerStars, this is the highest payout record for PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel since its launch in April.

There are other opportunities to win huge prizes on PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel. Although the $5 Spin & Goal promotion ended with Spain's victory over Argentina in the World Cup, the $5 Spin & Go 1 million jackpot remains—meaning that a spin on $5 could potentially yield up to 200,000 times the return.

New poker players will receive six $5 Spin & Go tickets without depositing or playing. This also includes existing players who have previously used FanDuel casino and sports services but have never played poker through the operator.

Since its launch, PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel has seen many other big winners. Major events already held include the Sunday Dynasty Championship with a 1TP 4T 100,000 guarantee and the Ignite Series with a 1TP 4T 5,000,000 guarantee.

PokerStars Exclusively on FanDuel is currently open to players in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ontario.
