Reefer Poker Bad Beat Jackpot reaches $1,000,000

The Reefer Poker Bad Beat Jackpot has reached over $1,000,000 Million.

“The Bad Beat Jackpot reached $1 million just after 6 PM today, and it is growing to new highs by the hour”, explained Reefer Pokers’ Poker Room Manager Dave Ishere.

With the "loser" of the hand set to earn over $350,000, this is one time in history that you really do want to be dealt a bad beat or rivered!

The more players that participate in the Bad Beat tables at ReeferPoker, the higher the Bad Beat Jackpot will continue to grow. With every day, more players are coming to the Bad Beat Jackpot tables on Reefer Poker to see if they can be the lucky winner.

"It's always smokin' when we see our bad beats reach these high numbers", said Ishere, "We don't know how high this thing will really get, but I can't imagine any player or affiliate not wanting to get a piece of it."

PKR Tournament changes

PKR have responded to player feedback by reducing the load time of the game even further and introducing a wider range of payment options. Players can now top up their PKR account (and cash out their winnings) with the paysafecard and ClickandBuy. With the addition of PKR.ru, Russian has been added to the list of 12 languages that PKR offer customers.

PKR Tournament changes:

The Open
Has become an unlimited rebuy tournament (for the first hour) with a $10 buy-in (was previously a $30 freezeout). This caters for players of varying bankrolls and gives the tournament the potential for much higher prize pools.

Bounty
The weekly Bounty keeps its freezeout format. The buy-in has been reduced from $30 to $20 – making it more accessible and, of course, the six $100 bounties are still up for grabs.

Grand Prix
Start time has been brought forward to a better prime time slot and the new double chance format gives players more bang for their buck. More satellites have also been scheduled for more ways in.

Omaha Showdown
This is a brand new tournament for the lovers of Texas Hold’em’s four-card cousin.

Aussie Classic
Start time brought forward by one hour.

Sunday Classic
Start time brought forward by one hour with the guarantee increased by $5,000.

The Masters
No change to PKR’s biggest tournament.
