Anyone check the No Limit Hold'em Tourny at Noble offering a monstrous Jackpot Prize of $100,000,000!!! ?
Is this real? what is the catch? |

Re: $100 Million at NoblePoker
Kind of like offering $1 Million if the 4th batter of the 7th inning hits a grand slam (highly unlikely)
-They are holding a live tournament in Vegas During the Final Table action, if one of the players will hit a Royal Flush of Spades he will win the $100,000,000 Grand Prize The additional Jackpot Prizes are: 1. Any other Royal Flush - $1,000,000 2. Any Straight Flush - $1,000,000 3. 4 of a kind Aces - $500,000 4. 4 of a kind Kings - $500,000 5. 4 of a kind Queens - $250,000 6. 4 of a kind Jacks - $250,000 7. 4 of a kind 10's - $250,000 |

from their site. I assume they are insured against it,
[ QUOTE ] During the Final Table action, if one of the players will hit a Royal Flush of Spades he will win the $100,000,000 Grand Prize! An enormous prize like which has never been seen in the history of poker. A hand no one will ever forget. And that's not all…if you come close to hitting the Royal Flush, you'll also go home a millionaire! The Final Table at this tournament will be the most exciting in poker history, as we'll have several more Jackpot hands. [/ QUOTE ] Interesting gimmick |

Re: $100 Million at NoblePoker
I'd have to say that being at the final table in a major land tournament + huge bonuses for hitting unbeatable hands = +ev.

Re: $100 Million at NoblePoker
If I played tournaments and was good, I'd jump all over this.
I'd like to know who is backing them for the $100,000,000 though. That's a lot of change to put up even for a hard to hit gimmick. |

My point is who is this insurance company that's backing this? I'd want to know this and be sure they could pay $100,000,000. |

Re: $100 Million at NoblePoker
It's quite common, actually. There's very little difference between calculating the odds of hitting a royal flush in spades and New Orleans being flooded. Once the actuaries come up with a number they issue the policy and lay off some or all of it to other insurance companies to spread the risk.
