Titan Poker jackpot hits quarter million

By Sarah Polson

Titan Poker fully recognizes that being a consistently good poker player is not always easy to do. That's why the poker site is rewarding consistency with a potential $250,000 Jackpot Prize.

Any player who wins six consecutive Fort Knox sit-and-go tournaments will receive that prize.

The Fort Knox tournaments cost $50-$9 to play, with the progressive jackpot starting at $50,000.

Each week, the Jackpot Prize will gain another $10,000 if nobody manages to meet the six, consecutive games requirement to claim the prize.

It may seem like a daunting task, but it is doable. Twelve players have won previous Fort Knox Jackpot prizes. One of which was Remy Elkoubi from Marseille, France, last November when he hit a straight flush to earn his sixth win and $100,000.

"I had tried to win this jackpot a few times, but I never had any success until this beautiful day," Elkoubi said. "I remember the last hand - a straight flush. A straight flush that earned me $100,000. I never believed that I could win this prize, but the reality was different; the Fort Knox is not impossible."

Other winners include Guy Meridjen from France who took home a $100,000 jackpot last year, as well as Derrick Morin from Canada, Richard Stringer from the United Kingdom and Joseph Dulaney from Texas.

The $250k jackpot will be the highest jackpot prize ever offered at Titan Poker.

The main jackpot isn't the only bonus prize participants will be playing for, though. Any player who manages to finish in either first or second place for six consecutive tournaments will also be awarded a $750 prize.
