PartyPoker Genius Promotion
Posted on July 8th, 2009 No commentsPartyPoker is squaring the pot of every 50,000th hand played. Also as part of the Genius promotion, which runs for 10 million hands, every millionth hand will receive a massive boost.
The Genius promotion started at 12:00 ET on Monday and will run for a total of 10 million hands. Every 50,000th pot will see its value squared. The minimum pot in a jackpot hand is $100, while the maximum payout is $5,000. For instance, if a 50,000th hand milestone were to occur at a table with a pot of $7, the jackpot would actually pay out $100, not $49, under the Genius promotion. Likewise, if it occurred at a table with a pot of $50, the pot would be boosted to $2,500 (or $50 squared).
Every player involved in a Genius hand will divide the extra payout equally, while the pot’s winner will scoop the original total. The maximum payout in any single hand is $5,000, which equates to about a $71 pot. All cash game tables with $0.10-$0.25 blinds and higher are eligible and include Limit ($0.25-$0.50 minimum), No Limit, and Pot Limit Hold’em along with Pot Limit Omaha and Seven Card Stud.
Also as part of the Genius promotion on PartyPoker, every millionth hand will feature at least a $10,000 prize pool. The ten-millionth hand, which will mark the end to The Genius, comes with at least a $100,000 purse. These sizable bankroll boosts do not apply to heads-up cash game tables on PartyPoker. Players dealt to in a hand will share in its bonus prize and uncalled bets are not counted in the pot’s value. A tracker of the number of Genius pots won and their combined payout is available on PartyPoker’s website.
