Plenty of Bad Beat Jackpot tables have been recently opened at two leading US poker rooms, where the jackpot has overtopped $500,000. The next Texas Holdem player to lose a hand with either four 8s or any better hand is eligible to win at least $162,000.

UltimateBet and Absolute Poker have prepared something special this week. The leaders of the industry have announced that their unique Bad Beat Jackpot has overtopped $500,000 and thousands of keen poker players are crowding around the tables in hopes to make a strike.

Annie Duke, UltimateBet’s poker room consultant stated that this outstanding, truly life-changing jackpot is right about to be hit at one of the online poker tables of the Cereus poker network. This lucky Texas Holdem player is going to win as much money as most people earn by working hard for several years. It’s truly amazing!

At the $500,000 mark, the lucky loser of the UltimateBet’s and Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot hand will get a chance to grab $162,000. The winner of this Bad Beat Jackpot Hand will get $81,000 and the remaining $81,000 will be split among the players that will be seated at the Texas Holdem table, where the bad beat will occur as well as those players that will be seated at other tables with the same stakes.

Online poker players at UltimateBet and Absolute poker are already discussing what would they do with the money, if they’d hit the Bad Beat Jackpot. Some say that they’d pay off the mortgage, some are planning to put their kids through college, or buy a dream car and some pretenders are dreaming of a trip around the planet. Anyway, the life-changing Bad Beat Jackpot is still there and you have a chance to become the “lucky loser�? and make your own dreams come true.

Let me explain you what the Bad Beat Jackpot is. It is a bonus component added to a traditional Texas Holdem game. The only difference relies in additional 50 cents charged from qualifying poker hands and added to a constantly growing pile of money until the “lucky loser�? will hit this jackpot.

If you will get lucky and lose a hand with four eights or any better hand, while playing at a Bad Beat Jackpot Texas Holdem table, then sixty five percent of the jackpot will be distributed among all Bad Beat Jackpot players, which also includes all players seated at Bad Beat Jackpot tables with the same game type and stake limit.
