[Zab]

What is this?
If you recall, we recently changed the promotion deduction from 4% to 5%, a small but large change because it allows us to add more progressive prize pools.

The High Hand progressive prize pools is just that, whenever you get a high hand in ANY of the PokerOwned tournaments (Yes even PokerStars) you are eligible to win the progressive prize pool.

What do you mean eligible? What would make me ineligible?
1) If you are in default at the start of the tournament you will be disqualified.
2) If you didn't opt into the tournament you will be disqualified.

How do I claim my prize?
On the main page, each of the prize pools has a hyperlink. Essentially you click that, type in the tournament ID #, and then upload your "Proof" which should be a screenshot of the hand or at least the chat history if you no longer have the hand. If you don't know how to take a screenshot, I suggest you learn!!!

The Mods or Myself will then verify that you actually did win and release the prize pool (in points).

YOU MUST SHOW PROOF THAT YOU HAD THE CORRECT HAND. OTHERS MUST SEE IT

What if I didn't take a screenshot and I can't find the chat logs? Can I still claim this?
Possibly. The bottom line is, we need PROOF.

Your hand either needs to go to showdown OR you must show your hand to others. If you had the winning hand but no one else saw it, YOU WILL NOT WIN THE PRIZE PERIOD. I am not about to deal with photoshop edited pictures. No Text Based submissions either!

If other people saw your hand, if a Mod can verify and so on, then yes you can still win the prize without a screen shot.

What other rules are there?
- PLO Tournaments do not count
- You MUST use both hole cards.. Period..
- For the Bad Beat, if you have 4 of a kind or better and get beat, you must use both hole cards
- Rabbit hands are NOT acceptable
- For Quads, you must have a pair as your hole cards (So King - Ace with a board of KKKxx Would not count)


How much do I win?
You will win 60% of the prize pool. I expect this to be won often with as many tournaments as we run!!
