DIAMOND ROYAL FLUSH HITS for $5,000!!!
Not only was $1,200 given away during a great game but Paul M. from Seminole, FL started a hand holding the Q and J of Diamonds with three-way action preflop. There was a bet, a raise, and a reraise in the preflop action!
The flop came out A, K, 10 of Diamonds giving Paul the Royal Flush and he managed to get one caller on his all in action!
They turned their cards and the table erupted with a roar when they saw his Royal!
Paul then got the big surprise when they all told him he just won $5,000! He thought it was maybe $500 or a $1,000.
Congratulations to Paul on the big win!
(The Diamond Royal Flush had not been hit since September 5, 2008.)

Club Royal Flush hit for $4,958!
The New Year starts off with a BIG BANG as a local, regular player finally hits a High Hand Jackpot and hits it BIG!!
Congratulations to Dave S. aka The OD aka Scrappy Dave from North Las Vegas, NV for hitting the Club Royal Flush.
It was one of those days, those days where I knew something was going to hit....
When I arrived for work this morning I see Dave sitting in the nine-seat of the $1/$3 No-Limit game that went all night and as I walk by him I say something like, "Now that you've stayed all night why don't you take down one of those Royals!"
Then about 30 minutes later when more daytime staff showed up I made the comment that "a Royal is getting hit today" - I could feel it coming (of course I also track everything there is to track so I knew statistically that we were way behind on Royal Flush hits which showed in that we have one at $5,000 and another ready to cap out at $5,000 so it was more than just a feeling).
We had just started doing the green color up for the 2pm tournament when I hear Dave yelling, "CHRIS! COME HERE!" so as I walk over to the table I can see two of the three Club Royal cards on the flop and the third one on the river and he is standing up all excited. He had moved all in on the river and was telling the guy who was contemplating a call that he had it, there was no poker face at all.
The other player involved in the hand could not tell if it was just theatrics or for real so he called and was then shown the two remaining cards for the Royal Flush!
Again congratulations Dave, you've certainly started this new year out with alot of gusto!
So who will take down the $5,000 Diamond Royal Flush?
It could be YOU!

Clubs Royal Flush Hit for $5,000
Lighting does strike twice!
Actually it struck more than twice... details after the picture.
Feliciano is a regular around the TI Poker Room and in the early hours of Saturday, June 14, 2008 those hours spent in the room paid off in the way of the Clubs Royal Flush, which had not been hit since January of this year, and it paid off in the amount of $5,000!
Congratulations Feliciano!
This is on table #2, seat # 5, which interestingly enough adds up to lucky number 7!
Before Feliciano took that seat there was a lady, Robyn, that hit a Quads jackpot for $100, then about one hour later hit another Quads jackpot for $100, then a short time later she called it a night.
Feliciano sits down and shortly after that hits the Clubs Royal Flush for $5,000 and then on the VERY NEXT HAND hits a Quads jackpot for another $100 and then also vacates the seat in a little bit.
The seat is still hot and another player had been in it for only a short amount of time when he too hit Quads for $100.
In a span of about 4.5 hours Table 2, Seat 5, had four Quads and a Royal Flush!

Hearts Royal Flush Hit for $3,181
It was about 2:20am when Justin looked at his hole cards to see the Ace of Hearts and Jack of Hearts.
The flop contained two more of the cards needed for the Hearts Royal Flush, they were the Queen and Ten of Hearts.
Then, as I am sure his heart was pounding, the river produced the King of Hearts and a windfall of $3,181!
This was no Friday the 13th for Justin!
Congratulations on the hand and jackpot!

TI's First Bad Beat Jackpot
I was in my office, getting ready to leave for the day, when I heard "JACKPOT!" slight pause, "JACKPOT!", another slight pause, then with even more enthusiasm, "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"
The commotion is coming from table # 3, in the front of the room - the table with the big "window" rail. It is a No Limit game.
It turns out a player had just sat down with his $300 buy-in and on his first hand he gets dealt a pair of sixes.
There is considerable preflop action (I am not privy to all the information but there was four-way action preflop with about $70 each in the pot).
The flop comes down:
3 of Diamonds - 4 of Clubs - 6 of Spades
The new player has flopped three sixes but unknown to him the player to his right has flopped a straight and holds the 5 and 7 of Diamonds.
The turn is a the 4 of Diamonds! The new player now has a Full House, Sixes full of Fours! He moves all in and gets called by the player to his right who flopped a straight and has turned a Straight Flush draw!
Sure enough the river is the 6 of Diamonds! The new player is excited he has Quads, shows them and the dealer yells "Jackpot!".
The player to his right immediately shows his hand and is even more excited as he shows the 7-High Straight Flush and the dealer yells "JACKPOT!" and realizes there is now a qualifying bad beat and yells "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"
The new player received $500 for having a qualifying losing hand AND $100 for having Quads - so he got all in for $300 on his first hand, lost and still came out of the hand with $600!
The player to his right took down a monster pot of $800+, $250 for having the winning hand in a Bad Beat jackpot, and $250 for his Straight Flush!
There were six other players at the table and they each received $100 just for being there!
One new player to the game had just sat down and missed that hand, but it's a good thing for everyone else or that hand would not have gone down the way it did!
Congratulations to everyone!

Cash Jackpots
Great news for cash jackpots!
Cash jackpots being paid from a promotional pool that is funded by players is now considered a wagering pool by the IRS.
What does this mean for you?
When you hit a cash jackpot at the TI that is $600 or more you will receive a W2-G instead of a 1099-M as it is now considered gambling winnings. This means you have the ability to counter your jackpot wins with gambling losses!
When you receive 1099-M's it is treated as income and you are not able to deduct gambling losses.
So come on down to the TI and hit those Quads, Straight Flushes, and Royal Flushes and don't forget that from 4am to 11am in N/L games ($1/$3 and up) and Limit games ($4 & $8 and up) the Quads are worth $200 each and Straight Flushes are worth $500 each!!!
