Players will compete to get the highest ranking hand for the hour starting at 1am every morning. Players will get a chance to win High Hand of the hour at 2am to 9am. No player will be awarded for a high hand at 1am as that is when we will start recording high hands for the 2am payout. In the event a player has an eligible high hand but their game breaks, the player will remain eligible under two conditions: the player joins another game as an active player, or the player is placed on waiting lists and remains in the room. Player is eligible for one prize per hour; in the event a player has multiple high hands, only the highest ranked hand will be considered for a prize.

When a player gets a High Hand, the dealer will call this hand out to the poker supervisor, who will document the high hand on the HH board. Whenever a hand gets beat for the hour, any high hand below will drop down on the list. Any HH below second place will be completely removed from the board. Only the top two hands of the hour will be kept track of, the rest will not be documented. In the event that a player with the first place or second place HH for the hour leaves, the money will be forfeited. Players must be present to win.
