The Poker Lab Rat

The Bad Beat Jackpot at the huge UK-based Poker room Ladbrokes has just been struck! 

Congratulations go to player MBM who lost to a Four of a kind Tens when holding Aces full of Tens to win a tidy $30,181.11

The cool thing about bad beat games is that the other players in the hand also get rewarded for your hardship! 

In this instance, redrobbo, who won the hand, received a tasty $15,090.55 and -Supafly-, ste147, ELTREN and WONG0149 all won $3,772.63 just for being dealt in!

OK, so how do you qualify for a Bad Beat Jackpot?

1. The losing hand must contain at least Aces full of Tens (with at least one Ace in the hole cards if the qualifying hand is a Full House).
2. Four or more Players must be dealt into the hand.
3. The hand must be a raked hand and the Jackpot contribution is collected from the hand.
4. The best hand of the winner and the loser must include both the hole cards, and the hand must go to a showdown.
5. The Jackpot contribution is only collected once during a hand.

The Bad Beat Jackpot applies to specified tables only and you contribute to a “Progressive rake” with each hand played. This contribution is displayed as a separate rake chip stack and the running jackpot total displays in the lobby and on each poker table.

For more info on playing bad beat jackpots visit Ladbrokes Poker Room. (Sorry no US players). They’re a good safe card room to play - and their recent Microgaming software upgrade has really improved both performance and styling! Ladbrokes are stand alone - they are not members of the Microgaming Prima Poker Network.
