Nearly $200k in SNG Jackpots at William Hill Poker
By RTR Dennis
Lots of poker players enjoy sit and go's because they're quick, relatively cheap and exciting. And William Hill Poker is adding yet another reason for players to enjoy these single-table tournaments by offering Progressive Jackpot SNG's.
There are four types of these SNG's in Fort Knox, Rio, Maui and Dirty Dozen. Each one offers a different starting jackpot size and buy-in, and entry fees remain the same no matter how large a jackpot gets. At the time of this writing, the four progressive prizes total $194,500!
As for unlocking the jackpots, you need to win a designated number of SNG's in a row. Assuming you can accomplish this feat, you not only get the winnings for the tournaments, but also the available progressive jackpot. With the basics out of the way, let's take a closer look at each of the Jackpot SNG's.
