YOUR BEST HAND OF THE DAY, NO OPT-IN
Crown Hand
Make a straight or better and your best hand enters the daily board automatically: the podium grows with the field, up to three named chip prizes.
How it plays
Make a straight or better and reach showdown and your best hand of the day enters automatically: no buy-in, no opt-in, and only your single best hand counts.
The board shows the top ten, and your own best hand and rank always show even outside it. It settles at midnight UTC and the countdown is live.
When the day closes, the paid places are paid straight to the wallet, in full: a published figure that the daily free-chip allowance never shortens. The podium grows with the field: from 10 entrants 1st pays, from 30 the top two, from 100 the full top three. During the beta (until public launch) the steps are 40, 15 and 5 entrants instead of 100, 30 and 10, with the same prizes.

Questions
Do I need to buy in to Crown Hand?
No. Making a straight or better at showdown enters your best hand automatically.
Which hand of mine counts?
Only your single best hand of the day: you can keep improving your entry with every showdown.
When does Crown Hand pay out?
The board settles at midnight UTC, and its paid places, sized by how many players entered, are paid straight to the wallet the next time anyone checks in.
What happens with a tie on Crown Hand?
Ties split evenly: players whose best five cards score exactly the same share the places they cover, and those places’ prizes are added together and divided equally. The 1st-place Vault Run pack and the 2nd- and 3rd-place Flip or Fold flips cannot be cut up, so they go one per place in the order the tied hand was made.
