Absolute Poker Bad Beat Jackpot Hits For Nearly $1 Million!

$996k+ Bad Beat Hit on AP.

One of the more popular additions to any major online poker room - and well, and live card room too - has got to be the Bad Beat Jackpot. It gives players more incentive to play longer, and frankly it’s just one of those exciting moments that people would just love to be apart of when a bad beat is finally hit.

Absolute Poker takes the concept of the Bad Beat Jackpot to a whole new level, and the running tally for the jackpot literally rises right before its players eyes EVERY second!

About a year ago in June was the last time the Bad Beat Jackpot was paid out on AP, and it’s been a long time coming for the next one to come around.

This past Sunday, a player with the online handle RIVERMAN1969 lost with Quad 10’s versus the Quad Queens of BFOXY! Although it was an obvious cooler, the rewards of the “loss” were immense. RIVERMAN earned himself a 32.5% losers share of the $996k+ Bad Beat Jackpot total - which calculated into about $325k! BFOXY, who laid the bad beat down, earned a 16.25% share of the total Bad Beat - which calculated into $163k!

Now you’ll probably notice that the two amounts given to the those two only equals about $488,000 or so. Well, the reason for that is that the remaining cash was divided up amongst the players at the Bad Beat Jackpot table ($1,000 each), as well as the other 88 players who were playing the same type of game and limit where the bad beat took place. The other 10% was put back into the house to restart a new Jackpot.
