Just shy of the one year anniversary of the record setting bad beat jackpot at Absolute Poker, the online poker room shattered their own record for the largest jackpot ever awarded.
“We’re hitting milestones, breaking records and making ordinary poker players extraordinarily rich,” stated an Absolute Poker spokesperson. “Bad Beat Jackpot continues to attract an enormous number of poker players to Absolute Poker and we can’t wait to beat the industry record we just set once again.”
Sunday night RIVERMAN1969 lost a hand with quad tens against the quad queens of BFOXY. His misfortune gave him the loser’s share, 32.5%, of the $996,115.28 total jackpot amount which worked out to $325,212.40. For laying the bad beat BFOXY earned 16.25% ($163,343.67) while the other players at the table each received $1,000.
The remaining money, minus the house fee of 10%, was divided among the 88 players playing the same game type and limit at the time.
