Magic Hands at InterPoker
A €15,000 Magic Hands promotion that is now running at the InterPoker online poker room gives you the chance to win €100 worth of compensation if you happen to get beaten by a weaker hand when starting out with pocket aces. If that diabolical event happens three times or more then you could be in line for a €100 payout, which is probably enough to make you feel at least a little better. The Magic Hands promotion runs until 23:59 on Monday 30 November, 2009, or until the €15,000 Magic Hands prize pool runs out.
The Magic Hands promotion started on Sunday 1 November and at the time of writing the prize pool stood at €13,300, so 17 players have qualified for a €100 payout so far. The good news is that there are 133 bonus payouts left in the pot, so if you are sick and tired of being dealt pocket aces and being beaten by monkeys who call with 27 off-suit and just happen to get a very luck, you might want to play at InterPoker for a while.
There are obviously some terms and conditions associated with the Magic Hands promotion, and you can find full details of these at the InterPoker website. For now, we can summarise the main points as follows:
- The Magic Hands promotion only applies on cash tables with minimum limits of 0.25c/0.50c when playing No Limit games and with minimum limits of 0.50/1 when playing Limit games.
- Four or more players must be dealt into the hand when you are dealt pocket aces, the hand must go to the showdown and you must lose to a weaker pair. If you win with pocket aces or lose before the showdown then the hand won’t qualify for promotional purposes.
As you can see, the €15,000 Magic Hands promotion is very simple and fair. If you suffer three qualifying losses or more between now and the end of November (or before the pot runs out, if sooner) then you need to email the address given on the Magic Hands page of the InterPoker website to make your claim. You will be required to submit Hand IDs in that email so be sure to make a note of the Hand ID whenever you suffer a qualifying loss.
Having your pocket aces cracked is never a good experience, but the Magic Hands promotion could help to make it a bit more bearable. Play at InterPoker today and if your pocket aces don’t help you to win some cash at the tables they could help you to win a Magic Hands bonus instead!
