    I vote this will take longer than a week considering there is only 1 or 2 ring games going maybe 10-12 hours a day. Plus it's only Spades that count.

    I hope the board is AKQJT of Spades and everyone at the table still in the hand wins an ipad. The rules do not state you have to use with of your cards.

    I agree. I definitely think over a week.

    If anyone took bets on this, I'd gladly bet the over.

    because the original text which said, if there are no callers on the river made it sound like there needed to be a bet on the river.

    It should have said just that the hand needs to go to showdown only, unless they are saying that there does need to be a bet.

    they should make it so that if anybody folds while another person has a royal flush, they are no longer allowed to earn points ever again lol

    when i know i can't win on the river, especially in multiway pots, i just fold instead of check to save myself 5 seconds.

    better pay attention to not do that for a while.

    It's not playing dirty. Since the rules indicate only the first one who hits it gets the ipad it's an +EV play folding when you have no chance of winning it yourself.

    actually that is a pretty good point.

    its not like before where all the players at the table got something

    no reason to let it get hit.

    Folding isn't an ev play because if you do it to people, people will find out and do it to you later. It's a lose lose proposition.

    yeah you would have to be a total-a-hole to fold unless the guy goes all in or something, at least check, you are winning a f'ing ipad.

    I was one card short of a royal flush a couple weeks ago. Closest i ever got. Good luck to everyone, how long is this promo going to last, forever intill someone wins?

    It's until someone wins. I'm sure it'll happen during the football season.

    That's why they need to offer something to the whole table or at least the ones who check otherwise people will keep folding.
