|
Playground Poker, a 75-table cardroom in Quebec, Canada, broke their own record this week with a massive CAD $2.6 million bad beat jackpot.
Although details of the hand and the players involved were not shared, the jackpot was triggered when one player’s flopped quad tens (10
10
) were cracked by a turned straight flush (9
6) on a board reading 8 10
10 7 2.
The hand occurred during a low-stakes $1-$2 no-limit hold’em cash game, and it didn’t appear that there was much more than few hundred dollars in the pot, but that was plenty enough to qualify for some life-changing payouts.
According to the Playground Poker bad beat jackpot rules. on their website, the losing player was entitled to 40% of the CAD $2,590,185 total prizepool, which in this case amounted to CAD $1,036,074 ($774,084 USD).
The player with the straight flush took home 20%, or CAD $518,037 ($387,042), and everyone else at the table split another 20%.
The final 20% was divided among all other players at the casino who were playing in a hold’em game at the time, giving the whole room something to celebrate. Even the dealers were happy, as the staff gets to split 5% of the jackpot.
The payout breaks the previous record, also set by Playground Poker back in June of 2022, which was worth CAD $2,228,425.
Once the latest bad beat hit, a backup jackpot was immediately activated which had already been reseeded to CAD $700,863.
Playground Poker funds their promotions by taking $2 from each cash game pot. A portion is allocated to the bad beat jackpot, another portion goes towards other cash game bonuses, and the remainder is saved to reseed backup bad beat jackpot.
