How can one win the $100,000,000 Jackpot Prize?

During the Final Table action, if one of the players will hit a Royal Flush of Spades he will win the $100,000,000 Grand Prize! An enormous prize like which has never been seen in the history of poker. A hand no one will ever forget.
And that's not all…if you come close to hitting the Royal Flush, you'll also go home a millionaire!
The Final Table at this tournament will be the most exciting in poker history, as we'll have several more Jackpot hands.

The additional Jackpot Prizes are:


1. Any other Royal Flush - $1,000,000
2. Any Straight Flush - $1,000,000
3. 4 of a kind Aces - $500,000
4. 4 of a kind Kings - $500,000
5. 4 of a kind Queens - $250,000
6. 4 of a kind Jacks - $250,000
7. 4 of a kind 10's - $250,000

They are offering 100 mill for a royal flush in spades it sounds like to me, not a 100 mill guaranteed tourney or anything.

even if its crap, it still is a pretty cool promotion.

i wonder how much the insurance for the 100 mil is for the site, as i am sure that they arent just puting that up themselves.

It's really not that big of a deal.... just an excuse to make up a really big number that they will never have to pay out.

And I'm sure they are insured too.... just like those Hole in One contests and other crazy promotions (like Pepsi's Billion $ thing a few years ago) always are.

i couldnt ever see this happening. No-one would insure this against a random number gentarot, noone. Too risky. This is where the "random" of the hands might not be exactly that.
