The Rio Jackpot Sit 'n Go Tournament was launched six years ago,
and has a starting prize pot of $30,000 that increases every week. One player on
William Hill, nicknamed KioN1, started playing the Rio Jackpot
because he wanted 'to try a new variation of the Sit 'n Go' and his
move paid off; he won $30,000 in only
17 minutes of play. He will continue playing the Rio and will also
try his hand on iPoker's Fort Knox promotion, describing these
tournaments as 'very exciting because it is always possible to win
the first prize!'
Two more players, both on Titan Poker, won $45,000 and $30,000
each, making it a great end to the year for iPoker and its
players.
