OVER 3 MILLION HANDS AND OVER $50,000 IN JACKPOTS PAID OUT ALREADY!
Gibraltar – 9th July – It doesn’t take the finest minds on the planet to work out that the new Party Poker promotion ‘The Genius ’ is already off to a flying start! There have already been over three million ‘Genius’ hands, paying out over $50,000, and, in response to great feedback, the minimum genius jackpot has been raised to $250 from $100!
The promotion, which started on Monday 6th July, involves PartyPoker.com squaring the pot of every 50,000th hand that’s played on cash tables to create mind-blowing jackpots, from a NEW MINIMUM of $250 up to a staggering $5,000. Better still, everyone involved in the hand will get an equal share of the payout, while the winner will also take the original pot.
In addition, every millionth hand during The Genius will have a guaranteed $10,000 prize pool and the final 10 millionth hand of the promotion will be worth an astounding
guaranteed $100,000. All the players dealt into these special Genius hands will share these fantastic cash prizes.
The promotion runs for 10 million hands, counted from 12.00 ET on Monday 6th July. The details are as follows:
* If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $70, PartyPoker.com will square it to give all the players an equal share of $4,900: $70 X $70 = $4,900
* If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $20, PartyPoker.com will square it to give all the players an equal share of $400: $20 x $20 = $400
* If a Genius hand hits on a table where the pot stands at $8, PartyPoker.com will give all the players an equal share of $250 (the new minimum Genius jackpot)
A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “We are not even a week into the promotion and there have already been over three million hands. We have some time to run but you don’t have to be Einstein to work out that someone may hit that golden ten millionth hand quicker than we first imagined!”
