Absolute Poker's Bad Beat Jackpot up to More than $490,000
IHighest Jackpot in Site's History
Imagine starting with pocket eights and hitting quads but losing the pot. It sounds heartbreaking. Then, imagine realizing that it happened at a designated Bad Beat Jackpot table on Absolute Poker. Now it does not sound so bad. At the time of the publication of this article, Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot is just over $490,000 and is expected to exceed $500,000 late today
Players must lose with quad eights or better, use both cards in their hand, and have it happen at a special Bad Beat Jackpot table. The jackpot is the largest in the site’s history. It was generated by accumulating 50¢ from the pot of each raked hand that is raked 25¢ or more. The player who loses the pot will receive the biggest majority of the prize and everyone at the table will also be given a piece of the jackpot.
Absolute Poker has already given out more than $1.4 million in jackpot money. The last player to benefit from the Bad Beat Jackpot was ASYSTROB, who was rewarded more than $54,000 for losing with his quad aces to a royal flush earlier this month. |
