My First Royal

[deacsoft]

I've been playing for a long time and my highest hand has been a King high straight flush. Nothing too special about the way I got the Royal or anything made off of it. I'm just relieved to have finally got one.

Where do they have info about the free hat? I got a royal a few weeks ago.

Thanks.

[Warik]

They don't have the info posted anywhere. I found out about it on here and called them for more info.

[deacsoft]

I just sent them an e-mail asking about it. Here's a cut and paste of their e-mail reply...

4-6 weeks for a [censored] hat. They can keep it.

[deacsoft]

WOW! To my delight and disbelief it arrived today. It's a solid black baseball style hat with the Party Poker.com logo on the front. They gave no notification that it was coming but that was no big deal to me at all. Not sure if I'll ever wear it, but I'll always be reminded of my first Royal Flush whenever I see it.
