Pittsburgh Poker Room Bad Beat Jackpot Grows To $1 MillionA Player Must Lose With At Least Quad 10s |
|
A bad beat jackpot in Pittsburgh has broken the seven-figure threshold.
On Saturday, the bad beat at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh was $1,021,000. The jackpot is one of the largest in the history of live poker.
At Rivers’ 30-table poker room, a player must lose with quad 10s or better to trigger the bad beat. The person on the “losing” end of the hand will take 40% of the pot, with the winning hand grabbing 30%.
The rest of the table will share 30%.
The bad beat jackpot hasn’t been hit in over a year.
The occurrence of quads over quads in a full-ring game with both players holding pocket pairs is about 1-in-300,000 hands. The odds are much worse when factoring in the quad 10s qualifier.
That said, all straight flushes would work too.
Bad beat jackpots are often controversial in the poker community because they require funding from the poker players themselves and the chances of hitting it are astronomically low.
