That’s right folks. Two players by the name of kdawg1979 and the other not yet released won the bad beat jackpot at Aced Poker after us mentioning the BBJ on our sister site, Compatiblepoker. What’s even more amazing is that kdawg179 was actually a freeroll player who won money to play on the real money tables.
The odds of hitting a bad beat jackpot are obviously not very large but to have two of our very own visitors sit in on a very large bad beat jackpot brings a smile to my face. kdawg1979 was one of our visitors who won $128,000 for his winning of the hand. The actual loser got $257K. Our other visitor got $18k just for sitting in and watching the bad beat jackpot.
The crazy thing is, this was the lowest possible hand to win the bad beat jackpot, quad 7’s. This set off the $734, 542 jackpot. I was then made aware by the manager of Carbon Poker, part of the Merge Network which also runs Aced Poker that two of our players were part of the action.
We expect Bad Beat Jackpot.com to bring in millions of dollars worth of winners in the future. While bad beat jackpots can be slow to grow at certain sites we are hoping for a large poker site to step up to the plate and offer something like a MEGA poker bad beat jackpot.
I can tell you that if a jackpot escalated to over $5 million everyone and their brother would be playing the jackpot tables, myself included! With the player volume that Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker has this could very easily be done with a harder to hit jackpot.
Unfortunately both have been unwilling to support our requests to add bad beat jackpots. So congratulations to the following players for winning the bad beat jackpot: Ween10, kdawg1979, 123maryc and the other remaining players who got $18k in cash.
