He met the requirements for the promotion, and now they are ignoring payment based on him not meeting a requirement that was NEVER stated.

It's bait and switch and completely dishonest.
Indeed, they say that the player must win the hand and pot, and no rabbit hunts. The player did win the hand, and showed his royal to the table.

Every other site that runs a similar promotion has spelled out very specifically in the terms "The hand must go to showdown in order for the jackpot to be paid", but all pdc/carbon says is that "Player must win hand/pot".

Like I have said, carbon/pdc is the absolute most terrible on the internet, and no one should play there because of that fact alone.
