Coral Poker’s new Twister promotion has been exciting many recreational players and now we know why
PokerPlayer has heard from Coral Poker regular ‘Random Forrest’ after he managed to scoop the €10k Twister jackpot. To get your hands on a €10k jackpot from Coral just open an account here and start playing.
Random Forrest told us “You’ve probably seen the Twisters available on Coral where for less than the price of a cinema ticket you can play for €10,000 against only 2 other players and it’ll all be over in less than 10 minutes. I played a few but I never really expected to spin the big one (I’ve seen a few players asking about the biggest spin people had seen and even some claiming that it was rigged never to spin the jackpot) and then it happened! I was playing a few tables at the same time so wasn’t really paying attention to the Wheel of fortune type thing slowing down as it always teases you by landing agonisingly close to a big one anyway. I looked at it once it had stopped and it said €10,000. I didn’t really know what to think, I half didn’t believe it but it was game on!”
“The poker pro would tell you not to let the money affect your decisions, but it’s impossible not to let the thought of walking away with such a large sum on money in a few minutes cloud your judgment. I like to think I’m a reasonably OK poker player but I didn’t care if I was Messi and Barcelona playing against Wigan or I was more out gunned than *spoiler alert* Uncle Jack compared to Walter White at the finale of breaking bad. If ever there was a time to cash in all those bad beats and run good it was now.”
“If that meant flopping set over set or getting all in preflop with 72o and sucking out on AA so be it. The game understandably started off a little tight with only one of the first fifteen hands seeing a showdown. I managed to pick up more than my share of small pots during the tentative start and my starting stack had grown from 500 chips to 750 – I was halfway to winning. Then came the first all in, the short stack shoved from the small blind whilst I was the big blind. I called with K4s he showed 45s, it held up and I was up to 1000 chips, 2/3 of the way there.”
“We were heads up and the blinds were getting quite high and my opponent just froze. I won 11 of the next 13 hands without even seeing a flop! My opponent had blinded himself down to 250 chips (3 big blinds!), I couldn’t believe my luck, not only had I spun the jackpot, I’d also gotten heads up with a big chip lead over the perfect opponent for my aggressive style. When he finally made a stand he actually won but after folding another BB he got it in again, this time my AQs beat his Q3o and I’d done it.”
“I still didn’t quite believe it, so I immediately cashed out, I wouldn’t believe it till it was in my bank account. Sure enough less than 48 hours later the money was there. Nice one Coral, I was now a believer.”
