Absolute Poker Pays Out Badbeat Poker Jackpot
The jackpot was won on the 13th of this month (January) at about 7pm EST. ITALIANMEX hit a five high straight flush, using both of the cards in his hand, he lost the hand though believe it or not, to CWISCHUN's eight high straight flush, effectively triggering the Absolute Poker bad beat jackpot. The Absolute Poker bad beat jackpot ticker was at $431,355.46 when the jackpot was won, some of that money will stay in the jackpot, kick starting the win for the next badbeat jackpot winner, the rest was split amongst the table players.
ITALIANMEX garnered $140 grand plus for himself, CWISCHUN netted just over $70k for his 8 high straight flush, and the 3 other online poker players luckily seated at the Absolute Poker table won to the tune of $17.5k apiece, not to shabby for a hand of poker.
Absolute Poker is one of the few online poker rooms to still accept deposits from US poker players, the site has seen some bad press lately with the online poker cheating scandal and subsequent Kahnawake Gaming Commission ruling.
