Absolute Poker: Record-Breaking Bad Beat Jackpot
KADI made online poker history by hitting a record-shattering $821,670.69 bad beat jackpot at Absolute Poker!
It happened today, August 29th; KADI lost a 10-high Straight Flush to a King-high Straight Flush. Normally, a loss like that would be upsetting, but not this time. Seated at one of Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot tables, KADI’s losing hand netted her $267,042.97 in cash for her share. The pot winner walked away with $133,521.48 and the participants in the hand each received $33,380.37.
To date, Absolute Poker has paid out over $1.5 million in bad beat jackpot money at their Bad Beat Jackpot tables.
How Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot Works:
Look for the ‘Bad Beat Jackpot’ cash tables, and they’ll collect $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked 25 cents or more. The bad beat poker jackpot will keep growing until someone hits a qualifying bad beat. If you lose a hand holding four eights (8888) or anything better, that’s a bad beat.
If your hand suffers a bad beat then everyone at the table will win a piece of the distributed jackpot. As soon as someone hits a qualifying bad beat, 65% of the jackpot will be shared between everyone at the online poker table where the bad beat went down. 25% will go towards the next jackpot and 10% will go to the house and they’ll take the new amount and divide it amongst the players seated at the Bad Beat Jackpot table.
- The loser of the hand, i.e. the bad beat victim - will take 50% of the prize
- The winner of the hand will take 25% of the prize
- The rest of the players seated at the table will share the remaining 25%
Congratulations to KADI and the rest of the players who cashed in big-time and became part of poker history!
