IPN AWARDS BAD BEAT JACKPOT WORTH OVER HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS
14 August 2009
This is the sort of bummer hand you could get
used to!
Boss Media's International Poker Network has paid out
one of the biggest bad beat jackpots yet, awarding an
unlucky-turned-fortunate player and tablemates some $590
000 (Euro 412 781)
Player 'AlkaliEars' may have
been disappointed when he lost a hand despite having
Quad Jacks, but his dismay turned to triumph when he was
told he had just hit the network's biggest yet Bad Beat
Jackpot.
"I was so sure my four Jacks would take
the pot. My heart sank when my opponent revealed four
Kings to beat them," said AlkaliEars. "But then I
remembered that by losing with such a great hand I had
won the Bad Beat jackpot!"
AlkaliEars received
Euro 144 473 of the Euro 412 781 jackpot. The winner of
the hand picked up an extra Euro 72 236 and the other
players at the table each got Euro 24 078. The new
Jackpot is already over Euro 90 000, an IPN spokesman
revealed.
"The Bad Beat Jackpot was created to
help ease the frustration of losing even when you're
dealt great cards," said Mery Blomqvist, head of
marketing and PR at Boss Media parent GTech G2. "With a
jackpot requirement starting at Quad 6s, this has got to
be the easiest Bad Beat Jackpot to hit anywhere!"
To qualify for the Bad Beat at IPN poker rooms,
players must be at a designated Bad Beat table and use
both pocket cards in their winning or losing hand. The
losing hand must be four-of-a-kind sixes or better. Four
or more players must be dealt into the hand.
The
IPN recently celebrated its 3 000 000th player and dealt
its billionth hand last year. The network includes such
popular poker sites as Virgin Poker.com, Poker
Heaven.com and the Casino-Club.com poker room, and
regularly hosts guaranteed Euro 1 000 000 tournaments.
