Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot Hits at Salamanca Poker Room
pays out over $211,749
Joseph Palumbo of Darien Center, NY got a “bad beat” at Seneca Gaming & Entertainment’s Poker Room located at within the newly renovated Gaming facility at 768 Broad Street in Salamanca, NY on February 12, 2010. But unlike most poker players who get a bad beat, Palumbo isn’t complaining. He and the other eight $3 -$6 Omaha players at the table were awarded a total of $211,749.03 when his jack high straight flush was beat by Martin John’s ace high straight flush in diamonds. Palumbo won $105,874.50 and John won $52,937.25.
The Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot grows with each pot that reaches over $20 in the poker room. Once a pot reaches $20, one dollar per player is put into the Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot. This fund builds up over time until a player gets a qualifying bad beat. A qualifying bad beat hand is when a player with four-of-a-kind or better gets beat by another player with a higher four-of-a-kind or better, including the two cards in their hand. The standard distribution for a bad beat progressive jackpot is 50% to the winner (the losing hand), 25% to the winning hand, and 25% to the remainder of the players who were dealt in at the table. The jackpot winners are as follows:
