The Internet gambler who hit a $117 248 Jackpot Poker win at Pharaohs Casino last week (see previous InfoPowa report) will be breathing a sigh of relief after an original offer to pay him in monthly instalments was abandoned.

The player has posted that after consultation Pharaoh's has reversed its decision and will pay him in two equal tranches - one immediately and the other as soon as his identity has been fully proved and publicity agreed.
