BAD BEAT HITS IN SALAMANCA
Posted: Monday, January 5th, 2009 - 9:55 AM
THE BAD BEAT PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT AT SALAMANCA POKER ROOM PAYS OUT OVER $123,060
Michael Steinhauser of Bradford, PA got a “bad beat” at Seneca Gaming & Entertainment’s Poker Room at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel on January 4, 2009, but unlike most poker players who get a bad beat, Steinhauser isn’t complaining. He and the other nine Omaha $3-$6 players at the table were awarded a total of $123,060.40 when his straight flush (Ace through 5 of diamonds) was beat by Richard Stanton’s straight flush (3 through 7 of diamonds). Stanton, a resident of Fillmore, NY, won $30,765.09
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 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:
