Pa Sands Poker Bad Beat Jackpot
Under bad beat jackpot rules in poker rooms across the country, you must play both of your hole cards. The absurdity of the hand apparently had the poker room a little confused. It took about 90.
A loud roar went through the Harrah’s Philadelphia poker room early in the morning on April 5. After three months of building the bad beat jackpot fund, it finally hit for $179,313.40.
The turn was very kind to “Ibrahima D.,” in more ways than one. He turned quads and would soon realize they weren’t good enough to take the pot. Fortunately for him, “John T.” flopped a king-high straight flush, which made losing the hand very profitable.

First let’s mention the largest bad beat jackpot in town. It involves seven of the poker rooms owned by the Caesars Entertainment chain of properties. By combining rooms, this jackpot is the largest in Sin City. Started in January of 2013, the jackpot has grown to over $900,000 at times. I played at the PA Sands this past weekend at 1/2 NL. I bought in for $200 and walked away with $550 after about 5 hrs of play. Yes I did well, however, the casino takes out 10% with a max of $5 PLUS $1 every hand for a bad beat jackpot. Then on top of that you have to tip the dealer at least $1 when you win, so you're looking at $7 being taken of any sizable pot. I use the player card that. In this scenario there is a poker room with a bad beat jackpot, and only one table. Casinos take $1 from every pot to go toward the bad beat jackpot (this is on top of any rake). This translates into a couple of things. If your table is dealt exactly 42,391 hands, your table will have collectively paid a total of $42,391 to the bad beat jackpot.

Ibrahima has $89,656.70 to help him overcome his bad beat, while John claimed $44,828.35 for the winning hand. That left the rest of the players at the table to split $44,828.35. Players can thank the two empty seats and the player in the bathroom for a slightly bigger payout than they would have received otherwise.
Bad time for a bathroom break
Darrell Peterson picked the wrong time to leave the table. He was in the bathroom when the action played out.
The players took pity on Peterson, though, each paying him out a small sum from their winnings. It seems fitting considering the hand wouldn’t have happened with him there.
“[It] wasn’t a huge score. But I did get a taste so, and I appreciated it because they didn’t have to,” said Peterson on Facebook.
Not everyone at the table participated in the unofficial payout to Peterson. Peterson, in good spirits about the whole thing, mentioned that one guy stiffed him.
The fourth bad beat jackpot in six months
The jackpot is now at $87,860.90, which is bigger than the jackpot the last time it hit.
The last jackpot hit on a Friday evening in late December, for $77,426 when quad threes lost to quad nines. That was the third time in three months that the bad beat was hit at the Pennsylvania casino.
In the middle of November, the jackpot hit for $85,224.40 and then again for $78,503 in early October
The largest poker bad beat jackpot in history
$179,313.40 is nothing to sneeze at, but it pales in comparison to the largest poker bad beat jackpot recorded.
Earlier this year, on Jan. 16, “Scott” had his quad threes beat by the quad queens of “Kenneth,” to claim their share of the $1,068,590 bad beat jackpot at Motor City Casino in Detroit, MI.
Scott took home $427,452 for his losing hand, while Kenneth pocketed $213,712. It always nice when losing pays off in a big way.
Again, empty seats at the table meant a bigger paycheck for those observing this historic event. Each player received a whopping $106,856 each.

A casino in Arizona last week was home to one of the worst bad beats you’ll ever see.
At the Casino Del Sol Poker Room in Tuscon, a run-of-the-mill $1-$2 table saw some crazy fireworks with a $18,000 bad beat jackpot up for grabs. When the dust settled, one player was sitting with a straight flush, which trounced a player with quad nines and a player with quad tens, as pictured above. The photo was posted to Reddit’s poker forum.
The player with the king-high straight flush received $4,500 of the bad beat, while the player with quad tens received the lion’s share of $9,000. The player who had flopped quad nines received just $665, the same as every other player at the table uninvolved with the hand.
The payout structure is typical of bad beat jackpots, but it’s virtually unheard of for there to be three qualifying hands in a bad beat. Under bad beat jackpot rules in poker rooms across the country, you must play both of your hole cards. The absurdity of the hand apparently had the poker room a little confused. It took about 90 minutes for the payouts to occur.
The man who suffered the bad beat on the bad beat was 37-year-old recreational poker player R.J. Bergman, reported PokerNews. Bergman, a YMCA program director, lost his $165 stack in the hand, so he really only won $500 for losing with quad nines.
Bergman wasn’t happy with the result. The 10 that landed on the river was a cruel card because the player with pocket tens wasn’t live to win the hand.
“I explained [to the casino] that the 10s were drawing dead on the turn so how is it a bad beat for him,” he wrote on Reddit. “They said it goes by the rank of the cards after the hand is done.”
However, argued Bergman, “the single card that improves his hand over mine is the case 10 and that gives the other guy the straight flush. He had 0 percent to win the hand after the turn card came out. I was a 98 percent favorite.”
What has Bergman learned from the hand?
“Never slow play flopped quads!” he wrote tongue-in-cheek. “I wake up every morning shaking my head. My friends are saying I should start a Gofundme page to cover the therapy bills I am going to need. Any supporters in that?”

Bergman added that the hand makes him feel “queasy.”
