Race to the Royal Flush Starts Now

LONDON, July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Win a SPT semi-final seat of your choice by being dealt an elusive Royal Flush

Have you ever been dealt a Royal flush when playing online poker? Well, Sky Poker on average see one Royal Flush for every 318,000 hands dealt. This equates to about one every two days.

But now Sky Poker is challenging the poker community to hunt for those elusive Royal Flushes to potentially win a seat in the SPT Grand Final!

In the new competition, "Race to the Royal Flush", the Sky Poker community member who is dealt the first (and only) Royal Flush of the week will be rewarded with a SPT semi-final seat on the night of your choice. The competition will start anew every Monday, so be sure to play for a chance to win this fantastic prize!

If you are the lucky player to be dealt a Royal Flush, you must post your hand (including your Hand ID) in this thread for verification. You will then be able to enter into a SPT semi-final.

The promotion has a few simple rules. Firstly, only the first Royal Flush each week will be credited. If, for example, one player gets a Royal Flush early on Monday, the completion will then be on "cooldown" until the following Monday. You must also hold two of the cards that make up the Royal Flush as your hole cards. The competition excludes Omaha game tables.

So make sure that you join Sky Poker right now to race for that Royal Flush!
