Bad Beat Jackpot at Absolute Poker Hits Again

January 3, 2008

Absolute Poker released one of the most incentive driven offers to players less than 9 months ago and since this time has given away over $6.5 Million to their players. The Absolute Poker Bad Beat Jackpot has been hit 39 times since the company released this bonus to players. The largest jackpot won, was an incredible $821 670.69, won on August 22, 2007. Not only has this set a record for Absolute Poker but it also set a record in online history for a the largest single win in any bad beat jackpot right across the net.

A bad beat jackpot is an interesting addon for poker players. Instead of having the winning hand you win when you lose. Quite simply, when a player has one of those hands where the odds of them losing are quite minimal and yet they end up busting out on the river they get paid. These hands have to be quad 8’s or higher with your whole cards containg pockets to qualify.

When this happens the player who recieved the “bad beat” wins a substantial share of the jakpot along with all the players at the table with him. Since the release of the bad beat jackpot and the frequency of wins, most of the ring games at AP are focused on qualifying tables and this has also generated more traffic for the room.

Absolute Poker is licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and offers players a one of the easiest poker bonuses to clear aswell as seats to the WSOP and Aussie Millions.
