Enormous Prize Up for Grabs in Canada: Staggering $1.8 Million Lottery Jackpot
At the bustling poker room Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec, a monumental event took place, bringing in a jaw-dropping $1.81 million USD, making it the second largest poker bad beat jackpot record in the history of the game!
This extraordinary Jackpot was hit during a casual $1/$3 no-limit Texas Hold'em game. According to the casino's rules, the jackpot is tripped when a player suffers a crushing defeat while pairingups with tens or better using both hole cards.
The Board:
9♠ K♣ 10♣ J♣ 10♠
- Loser's Hand: 10♥ 10♦ (four of a kind tens)
- Winner's Hand: Q♣ 9♣ (straight flush)
The moment this hand was played, the Jackpot was triggered!
As per Lac-Leamy's payout structure:
- 40% - to the player with the losing hand
- 20% - to the winner of the hand
- 20% - evenly split among players at the table
- 20% - evenly split among the rest of the poker room players
When this hand was played, there were 46 players at five tables.
Now, let me spill the beans about the payout distribution:
- The poor soul holding quads tens pocketed a whopping CAD $1,005,421 (USD $726,000)!
- The lucky bastard with the straight flush pocketed a cool CAD $502,711 (USD $363,000)!
- The folks at the same table each took home CAD $84,000 (USD $60,000)!
- The remaining 38 players in the poker room each received CAD $13,000 (USD $9,400)!
