Bad Beat Jackpot at Absolute Poker | IXGAMES
It was Déjà Vu at Absolute Poker this past weekend as the popular online poker site’s new Bad Beat Jackpot was hit twice in just under five hours. At 12:38 on Saturday, July 21st, JOE JETS lost quad 9s to SHORT_SHYT’s quad Jacks and walked away with $97,650.85 for losing the hand. Within just a few hours of the jackpot being reset, history repeated itself. At 16:55 ET, JBAND277’s quad 10s were no match for GOLFCOFFEY’s quad Jacks. Another $26,890.35 made its way into JBAND277’s account for his losing hand. If a poker player loses a hand holding four 8s or anything better at a Bad Beat Jackpot table, they’ll win a piece of the Bad Beat Jackpot. A percentage of the poker jackpot is shared amongst the players where the bad beat occurred and a fraction of the jackpot is placed back into the pot for the next jackpot.
