July 17 - This month one would expect all the big poker money winners to be
from the World Series of Poker. However, one seriously happy online poker
players bucked the trends and won a wad of cash playing at Absolute Poker. It
seems weirdly appropriate that he named himself "Calvinhobbes".
The player hit the bad beat jackpot for a monstrous $464,000 in cold hard
cash, which is divided between himself, the hand winner, and the other players
at the table. He takes home the lions share of $162,628.21.
Almost one million hands were dealt since the last winner which made the
jackpot climb to new levels. The bad beat jackpot is a major draw card
that attracts new players, according to a spoke person at this top tier poker
room.
Now how did he win you may ask. Well losing with quad aces to a Royal Flush
deserves something. I mean it just has to, right. A loss like this could put you
off poker forever. But for Calvinhobbes, this was definitely a great hand to
lose!
Calvinhobbes was playing at one of Absolute Poker's Bad
Beat Jackpot tables. If you lose a hand holing four of a kind, you have hit the
jackpot. The previous win was for $297,287.63 less than two weeks ago which
gives you an idea of how fast the jackpot grows.
The Bad Beat Jackpot tables is a stroke of genius by Absolute Poker.
