In a move which is sure to grab the attention of the best players in the world, Absolute Poker has announced that their Bad Beat Poker Jackpot has just beaten the previous August 2007 record of $821,670.69 and is heading towards the $1 million barrier. As Absolute Poker continues to put the likes of Party Poker in the shade, the profile of the company has never been greater. So will the jackpot smash through the $1 million wall?<br /> <br /> There are hopes that the Bad Beat Poker jackpot can carry on for just a short while longer without anyone winning the loot. The game itself has been around since 2007 and involves taking a small percentage of the Poker entry cost and placing this in a pool for the Bad Beat games. Until someone qualifies with a Bad Beat hand the prize fund just keeps growing and growing. However, it is not just the actually winner who will walk away with a big cheque as players at the table of the winner will also take a slice of the action.<br /> <br /> Fingers are crossed that the jackpot will hit $1 million and Absolute Poker will be able grab the limelight yet again. Big jackpots mean big headlines which mean more and more customers!
