History Made at Absolute
Poker as Bad Beat Jackpot Hits Twice in 48 Hours
Body:
Within one day of releasing its new Bad Beat Jackpot game, Absolute
Poker doled out nearly $78,000 to five lucky Absolute
Poker players after the very first jackpot was hit.
Less than 48 hours later, it was déjà vu for players
of the new online poker game as the jackpot bells tolled once
again.
"This is proof that Absolute
Poker has taken the lead in making online
poker more lucrative," stated David Clainer, senior vice
president for Absolute
Poker. "When you can lose a hand and walk away with tens
of thousands of dollars, it's pretty amazing."
The first Bad Beat Jackpot was won early Saturday morning by
CGA11 who lost quad tens to NEDKELLY's straight flush. In traditional
Texas Hold'em, CGA11 would have walked away from the table with
nothing but a whole lot of anger. However, at a Bad Beat Jackpot
table, when a player loses a poker hand holding four two's (2222)
or anything better, they win the largest piece of the Bad Beat
Jackpot. In CGA11's case, that meant nearly $40,000 for his losing
hand. All poker players who were seated at the table where they
bad beat occurred also shared in the jackpot.
History repeated itself early Monday morning when MARKM3451 lost
four of a kind to WHITETAIL0's king high straight flush, losing
the hand but winning nearly $13,000 by hitting the jackpot.
Absolute
Poker is the only online
poker site open to U.S.
players to feature Bad Beat Jackpot tables. Full details on

Poker's suite of poker
