New UltimateBet Player Hits First CEREUS Bad Beat Jackpot to the Tune...

It couldn'st be more fitting for a 2-day old poker network. An online Texas Hold'sem player, who registered with UltimateBet a handful of days ago, has won over $250,000 playing Texas Hold'sem at UltimateBet'ss Bad Beat Jackpot tables.

As a result of the significantly expanded player base of CEREUS, the Bad Beat Jackpot at the online poker site had reached $789,827.72 by Thursday morning before an online poker player with the moniker lost a hand of Texas Hold'sem holding a straight flush.

At ordinary Texas Hold'sem tables, a loss like that would leave any poker player devastated. But at UltimateBet'ss Bad Beat Jackpot (http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-promotion/bad-beat-jackpot) tables, it pays to lose.

Bad Beat Jackpot is just like traditional Texas Hold'sem poker (http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-games/texas-holdem) with an added jackpot component. In addition to rake, $0.50 is collected from qualifying poker hands and placed into a constantly growing pot until someone hits the jackpot.

When an online poker player loses a hand with four 8s or anything better, 65% of the jackpot is divided among Bad Beat Jackpot players (25% remains in the pot for the next jackpot and 10% is dedicated towards administrative fees). All players seated at a Bad Beat Jackpot table featuring the same limit and game type as where the bad beat occurred also win a piece of the jackpot.

On Tuesday, UltimateBet announced that it had completed its transition to the CEREUS Poker Network, offering online poker players a host of new features and promising bigger tournaments, hotter promotions, and higher Bad Beat Jackpots.

Full details on UltimateBet'ss Bad Beat Jackpot game can be found at ultimatebet.com.
