Dakota Dunes Casino Awards Largest Bad Beat Jackpot In Saskatchewan's HistorySaskatoon Area Casino Pays Out Nearly $200,000 In Jackpot |
|
What would normally have been an excruciating defeat resulted in a record payout for some lucky poker players last week at Dakota Dunes Casino. The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority’s Dakota Dunes Casino, located just 20 kilometers south of Saskatoon on Whitecap First Nation, paid out $196,345, in the largest poker “bad beat” jackpot in Saskatchewan’s history.
A “bad beat” is a poker term used for an occurrence when a strong poker hand loses to an even stronger poker hand. When the qualifying bad beat hand was dealt at Dakota Dunes Casino, there were eight players in the hand. During the hold’em round, player one from Regina was dealt A-Q and player two from Saskatoon was dealt pocket jacks. The flop was dealt A-Q-J with a jack on the turn. Another ace on the river gave the Regina player a full house versus the Saskatoon player’s quad jacks, making everybody in the hand a winner in Saskatchewan’s largest bad beat jackpot win!
The lucky loser from Regina with A-A-A-Q-Q won the 40 percent majority share of the bad beat jackpot of $78,538. John Popouches from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was the winner of the hand with J-J-J-J and was awarded a 20 percent bad beat share of $39,269.
All the other players playing in the hand won a players share of the remaining 40 percent divided between them and each received $13,089.66.
The Vegas style casino is open until 2 a.m. on weekdays and 3 a.m. on weekends. Free shuttle service is available daily. See the casino website for more information.
