I don't know if anyone is familiar with Walker poker but if you get a royal flush and are holding both hole cards and win the hand they pay you out 100 xBB.
Well this morning I got a royal and guess what happened next. I checked with the view to call any bet as to show the hand and by the time the betting came back to me my connection had been lost.
I have emailed Walker and gave them the hand number so they can see that I got disconnected. Don't know if that will do any good but it is worth a try.
This was my first royal Flush ever too and I'm feeling kind of sick at the moment.

Yeh an amount like that would be nice but I still get 100xBB even if the other guys is holding a pair of 2's. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Gave it the ole 'in good faith balonie' so we wait and see. At the end of the day they were going to pay that out for me so I don't see why they shouldn't and i'm now wondering how much of a coincidence it was. I'll keep you posted.
------------ In fact Tormu, your right has only just dawned on me that I'm only entitled to $50. That sucks, I thought it was $500 for someone reason. Jeez I work in Finance as well. Hardly worth the bother now lol.

Yeah man what a freakin thing... maybe it´s tipical for this cardroom ^^^its obviously they disconnected you because they dont want to loose any money^^ But bad luck always comes hand in hand with big winnings
i tried to get free bonus at walkerpoker from here at BRM but it said i was not allowed because i live in the UK ?? but the next day i ended up getting a $50 no deposit bonus on walker poker from another site, which i turned into $470 and cashed it out
