Microgaming is a poker network that accomodates poker rooms like Ladbrokes and Unibet; its many rooms offer designated Bad Beat Jackpot tables to players who are willing to play with slightly higher rakes in order to be eligible for the bad beat jackpot, which is hit if a player, holding better than a quad of eights or better and still be beaten by a better hand using both hole cards.
The jackpot hasn't been hit for a few weeks until at approximately 6:00 a.m. GMT, a player called 4447470 ran into his opponent's, epohon's royal flush with quad tens. The extraordinary hand clash shocked everyone at the table, but at first they didn't realize what just happened:
"I knew that my four of a kind tens weren’t enough to beat my opponent’s Royal Flush, although when I looked moments later, I saw notification of my win and realized that I had hit the Bad Beat Jackpot and start screaming," 4447470 commented to Microgaming after he received his money.
With his losing hand, the unknown player took down $195,403.70 from the jackpot, while epohon, holding the winning royal flush earned an additional $97,701.85 to the won pot. 2 other players sitting at the table earned $48,850.92 each for just being there.
The Microgaming Bad Beat Jackpot didn't have much time to regenerate, it was hit again on Sunday around 1:30 a.m. It was zebro74, who has easily beaten papa45's quad jacks with his straight flush. The total jackpot was $114,264.23, out of which papa45 got $39,992.48, and the winner zebro74 earned $19,996.24. Four other players at the table made around $5,000 just by sitting at the same table.
As a total, $470,792 jackpot was paid by Microgaming to 10 players. After being very lucky, 4447470 told the officials of the poker room that he's planning a bit of time away from the poker tables to relax and enjoy his huge win.
The Bad Beat Jackpot was reseeded with $22,852.85 right after the win, and it is growing ever since.
