In Flotsam's inn in Chapter 1, there's a monk in the basement of the inn who claims he has a mysterious relic that he can't use, and that only those blessed of good luck may have it. As a result, we have to play at Dice Poker. Unfortunately, my luck's not that great, so I tend to win only every other game, and it seems like you need a winning streak to get the award, since when I beat him he says that my luck's not quite good enough to obtain it yet.
How many times must I beat him to get the award? What is the award?

It turns out that neither a sum of money nor a streak of victories is the trigger for earning his "relic"; instead, you must win against the monk in Dice Poker with a dice hand of two pairs. This requires a fair amount of luck, since the only hand two pairs beats is one pair or two pairs of a lower total sum. If you're worried about losing money, save/loading before playing him is effective.
The reward for this is a link in the Extras menu to a site which also acts as a link to a discount on 11 different Atari games, including Outcast, Master of Magic, Independence War 2, and Master of Orion 1+2. The site that this link went to is now defunct and redirects to a spam site, and I'm not sure if this option is available anymore in the game since the special offer has concluded.
