We will play a few rounds of PIRATES Hold Em at the event. To play, take your cards and pair them up into hands of TWO. If you brought two cards to the event, you can play ONE HAND per round, if you found six caches, you can play THREE HANDS per round. In PIRATES Hold Em, you have two cards in your hand and three community cards are face up. The Dealer will then deal two more to complete the play. Each player will then select the best five to score their hand. The best poker hand- "highest score" in each round will win a prize. Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, Pair, High Card. There will be no wild cards. In the event of a ties, the winning hand holders will pick a card from the deck and the high card wins.

The Dealer will be GSMx2. The Dealer will identify the Winner of each hand. A player's pair of cards may only win once, thus, the winning hand will be discarded. Prior to each hand, Bigrock95 will designate the prize for the round from the prize table. You may review the prize listing below. However, some prizes will be reserved for the raffle. Each attendee will receive one ticket for the raffle.
