Press Release

Over $200,000 in SitnGo Jackpot prizes won on paddypowerpoker.com in less than a week

8th March

paddypowerpoker.com today congratulates ‘alanbrrrtn1’ on his $95,000 Sit’n’Go Jackpot triumph, which was the 2nd biggest jackpot prize ever won by a paddypowerpoker.com player.  The player captured this massive prize by finishing in first place in six consecutive Rio Jackpot Sit’n’Go tournaments, all played on the evening of February 26th and each with a buy-in of $23.50.

The victory came hot on the heels of paddypowerpoker.com’s biggest ever Sit’n’Go Jackpot win, as Phil ‘flukesfla’ Flavin won a $110,000 jackpot on February 20th. 

The Rio progressive jackpot starts at $25,000 and increases in size each week until it is won.

“When we paid out the $110k a few weeks ago I mentioned that I hoped we would be able to congratulate another few jackpots winners in the near future; but never guessed we’d have another big winner so soon!” said Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com.  “Our players are really on a roll right now and I’m sure a few more big prizes will be won by them before the summer arrives – maybe an all-paddypowerpoker.com Irish Open final table!”
