The jackpot, the newest guarantee addition to no limit hold’em games in the Poker Room, was divided incrementally among the eight players at the table. A Dover, Del., player, who did not wish to be identified, received fifty percent of the jackpot, $5,000, for his “losing” hand of Aces full of Kings.
