They are playing with the qualifying hand level to try and strike a balance between frequency of hitting and pot size, when it was four of a kind, the pot went a long time w/o hit, when it was queens full, the pot was rarely over a couple hundred. They actually are not doing a bad job testing it, which is remarkable.
