The remarkable win was made possible due to the success coming on the unique Twister Poker product. Twisters are 3-max turbo Sit and Go games with a winner-take-all format. The main difference with Twister Poker is that the prize pool you are playing for can be more than the combined buy-ins of the three players. When the tournament starts a random prize draw picks the prize pool from a 'jackpot' pool and in some instances could be worth up to 1,000 times the buy-in amount. However, at the very minimum, the winner will always win more than double their buy-in.
