Fort Knox is a Sit 'n Go tournament that has a starting prize fund of $50,000 that increases every week until a player wins six consecutive tournaments and lands the jackpot. With over $6.5 million given away in its five-year history, Fort Knox is one of iPoker's most popular jackpots.

The William Hill player, nicknamed isKioN1, commented: 'I started playing the Fort Knox SNG because it was profitable from the beginning. Not only can you win the first prize but also second prize, which is won easier and more frequently. I will continue playing both the Rio and Fort Knox, as they have the biggest jackpot prizes.'
