Poker News: Party Poker breaks the badbeat record

Party Poker breaks the badbeat record

 August 17, 2008, 8:07 am (3 years ago)
On Thursday there was a new world record for an online poker Bad Beat Jackpot made at Party Poker.com when a bad beat payout on an online table hit $1 013 381 and alter, exceeding the prior record of $992 000.
Party Poker's Bad Beat is a jackpot won on particular tables if players lose with a hand of four of a kind, 8's or better, and this is what took place to online player 'Judith75', from Germany when she hit quad 9's this week. By that kind of a hand it should be incredibly tough to imagine that you are going to lose the pot but 'Hiyall' from Scotland was sitting with the complete nuts – a royal flush - a hand that is considered by players as a 649/739/1 opportunity. The carnage on the table kept on going, but as a different player 'Shoulderguy,' from Germany as well, exposed a full house!

The triumph came on a $0.50/$1 table and the table pot itself was just worth $24. With the quad 9's being defeated by the royal flush, Judith75 won $354 683.57, while hand winner Hiyall gathered $177 341.79 + $24 from the pot. The other players at the table won $22 167.72.

PartyPoker's Bad Beat jackpot is only obtainable on particularly chosen tables. Of the dispersed amount, 50 % goes to the loser of the hand who is put through the bad beat, 25 % to the winner, and the rest of 25 % is divided among the further seated players who participated in the hand. Players who sit out the hand are not given any prize. In the recent record-breaking case ten players profited.

The large cash was streaming somewhere else in the Party Gaming group, too; one fortunate player won $1.06 million on the Godfather slot at PartyCasino.com, at the same time as on the 8th August PartyBingo.com and ITVBingo.com started their first GBP1 million jackpot game.
