It was Dj Vu at Absolute Poker this past weekend as the popular online poker site's new Bad Beat Jackpot was hit twice in just under five hours.
"Talk about a double rush of adrenaline," stated David Clainer, senior vice president for Absolute Poker. "We handed out nearly $250,000 between the two tables last Saturday and we're
gearing up to make even more people very rich."
At 12:38 on Saturday, July 21st, JOE JETS lost quad 9s to SHORT_SHYT's quad Jacks and walked away with $97,650.85 for losing the hand.
Within just a few hours of the jackpot being reset, history repeated itself. At 16:55 ET, JBAND277's quad 10s were no match for GOLFCOFFEY's quad Jacks. Another $26,890.35 made its way
into JBAND277's account for his losing hand.
If a poker player loses a hand holding four 8s or anything better at a Bad Beat Jackpot table, they'll win a piece of the Bad Beat Jackpot. A percentage of the poker jackpot is shared
amongst the players where the bad beat occurred and a fraction of the jackpot is placed back into the pot for the next jackpot.
