Absolute Poker Bad Beat Jackpot Pays Just Under $1m

Absolute Poker has reported that its Bad Beat Jackpot was hit recently, less than $4,000 shy of hitting the $1 million mark. The record-breaking $996,115.28 jackpot is the largest Bad Beat Jackpot ever won in online poker history.

'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.'

The latest bad beat win happened on June 22, just one year after Absolute Poker launched the jackpot game. An online poker player with the moniker RIVERMAN1969 from Pasadena, Maryland lost a hand of Texas Hold'em with four tens to BFOXY's four queens, securing $325,212.40 for his loss. BFOXY left the table $163,343.67 richer and 88 other online poker players shared in an additional $163,343.67, including those seated at the table where the bad beat occurred and those seated at Bad Beat Jackpot tables featuring the same stakes and game type.

The popped jackpot eclipses the previous industry record held by Absolute Poker. On August 29, 2007, the popular online poker site swiped the record for the largest Bad Beat Jackpot ever won in online poker history from Party Poker.
