DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, October 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Playtech's iPoker network, the largest B2B network in the world, has given away $70,000 in less than a fortnight, to the winning players of their Rio Jackpot promotion.
The Rio Jackpot Sit 'N Go tournament has been running continuously for the past six years, and has already given away over $6.5 million. With an initial prize fund of $25,000, the jackpot increases by $10,000 every week, until someone wins six consecutive Rio Jackpot Sit 'N Go tournaments, and scoops the grand prize.
This month saw one lucky Betfred player secure a $45,000 prize in five and a half hours of great play, and only eight days later, a player on Paddy Power won a further $25,000.
Describing his winning moment, the $45,000-winning player said: 'It was an absolutely marvelous scene! I invited five friends over and we just partied all night! I felt very satisfied that it was possible after missing the Rio Jackpot a couple of times before. I will be trying the Rio Jackpot again and also Fort Knox [another iPoker promotion] which is actually my preferred Sit 'N Go.'
This unique and lucrative tournament will now reset at the starting prize fund, giving players plenty more chances to win a fantastic $25,000 or more.
