A bad beat jackpot of over a million dollars was hit at the Motor City Casino in Detroit when quad queens beat quad threes. It is the largest bad beat jackpot in U.S.

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the very early hours of July 30, players in a game of Texas Hold’em won the largest bad beat jackpot in Rivers Casino history. The nine players walked away with $342,829.30.

To win the bad beat jackpot in Rivers’ Texas Hold’em game, the losing hand actually earns the most cash, the winner takes second prize and the table splits the rest. One player won $137,131.75; the other received $102,848.79; and seven players received $14,692.68 each. A jackpot of any kind is defined as a win of $1,200 or more.

“Ever since the bad beat jackpot surpassed the record set earlier this year, our poker players have been anxiously waiting for a big win,” said Craig Clark, Rivers Casino general manager. “We’d like to congratulate all of the players at the winning table.”

The new bad beat jackpot is currently $133,054.35.

Rivers saw another bad beat record in January, when eight players split a prize of $304,963.20.

It had been eight months since the last bad beat jackpot was hit at Playground Poker Club. Back in August of 2017, the BBJ was hit at an incredible $1,210,989. That jackpot was triggered when one player rivered a straight flush against quad jacks.

Fast forward to the really late or really early hours of April 27, and you have yourself an even bigger jackpot hit. At 5:30 a.m., the total was sitting at over $1,375,000, making it the largest Primary BBJ ever awarded at Playground Poker Club. The ironic thing is: the jackpot last year was triggered at 5:20 p.m. and this one was triggered at 5:30 a.m. Just throwing that out there.

According to Playground Poker, nine players were seated at a $2/$5 NLHE cash game table with five other NLHE games running.

As the loser of the hand, Kwane R scooped the biggest share of the jackpot ($522,622). Daniel F collected $261,311 as the winner of the hand, while the other seven players at the table each received $37,328. And that wasn't all — everyone seated at a table in the poker room when the jackpot hit was paid $5,938 as part of the promotion.

As the story goes, Kwane R opened to $25 from UTG +1. The next player called, as did the cutoff, and so did Daniel F in the small blind and the big blind. These five players saw the flop.
