Absolute Poker gave away the biggest “bad beat jackpot” in the history of online poker over the weekend, with several players sharing in nearly the jackpot when it reached nearly $1 million.
The AP Bad Beat Jackpot is triggered when someone holding four 8s or better loses a hand while sitting at a “Bad Beat Jackpot” table.
According to a press release:
The latest bad beat win happened on June 22 at 9:06 p.m. ET just one year after Absolute Poker launched the Texas Hold’em-based jackpot game to the delight of US players. An online poker player with the moniker RIVERMAN1969 from Pasadena, Maryland, lost a hand of Texas Hold’em with four tens to BFOXY’s four queens, securing $325,212.40 for his loss. BFOXY left the table $163,343.67 richer and 88 other online poker players shared in an additional $163,343.67, including those seated at the table where the bad beat occurred and those seated at Bad Beat Jackpot tables featuring the same stakes and game type.
For the jackpot, 25% is rolled over to the next jackpot, while 10% goes to the house.
The jackpot at AP is built by collecting $0.50 from qualifying hands at “Bad Beat Jackpot” tables.
