Record Bad Beat Jackpot - Over $1,000,000

That`s right folks the record for the largest bad beat jackpot is now held by PDC/Carbon Poker. It finally passed the $1,000,000 mark earlier this month and as I write is approaching $1.1 million.

So what does that mean?

Well if you`re lucky enough to have your quad sevens or better beaten at one of the bad beat tables you`ll receive over $350,000 in compensation! You`ll sort of have the last laugh because the guy who beats you will only get a little over $175,000! Those are some very pretty numbers and you`ll be pleased to know that if you just happen to be in the hand with those players you`ll receive a share of over $175,000. With a minimum of 4 players required to claim the jackpot you could get as much as half that figure but even at a full table you`ll still be looking at over $20,000.

And here are the official T&C put down by Carbon

Bad Beats happen to every player, but at CarbonPoker we have a way to potentially win big after losing with a monster hand!

In any Texas Hold'em game, you will be looking to maximise your value when you pick up Quads. The chance to go all-in is automatic, but what happens if your opponent is holding higher Quads, or eveHEn a Straight Flush?

These are the worst of the Bad Beats, and usually result in thousands of chips being passed over the table. Our new Bad Beat Jackpot will ensure thousands of dollars in cash will be won, all for losing a hand.

On specially labelled ring game jackpot tables, we will collect 50 cents from every pot which contributes to the Bad Beat Jackpot. As soon as a player has a monster hand cracked, the jackpot will be won, with every active player at the table receiving a portion of the prize money! The player with the losing hand will pick up the biggest percentage, so if you have Quad sevens or better using both hole cards, you should definitely hope to get beaten!

Bad Beat Jackpot requirements:
The losing hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 7s, with a 2 kicker
The winning hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 8s, with a 2 kicker
Both the winning and losing hands must include both hole cards, and in the case of a Four of a Kind must include a pocket pair.
At least four players must be dealt in at the start of the hand
The hand must have generated jackpot rake (ie. $0.50)
Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to showdown.

And the payouts
