Casino Bad Beat Poker Jackpot Hit For $164,545

Eighty-one poker players at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino in Milwaukee are celebrating their good fortune after sharing in the casino’s Bad Beat Jackpot worth $164,545.
The casino’s inaugural jackpot had been building since since October and was finally released on December 14th at a 10 player Texas Holdem table. The lucky loser of the hand was Frank W. of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, who was awarded $49,363 after his quad sixes were cracked by quad aces. Following his remarkable win, Frank W commented:
“I’ve been coming to the Poker Room at Potawatomi Bingo Casino more often since the Bad Beat Jackpot promotion started and can’t believe I ended up as the big winner. Texas Holdem is my game and it’s great that the opportunity to win extra money through the Bad Beat Jackpot is now available at the casino.”
In addition, the winner of the hand, Kathy K. of Park Ridge, Illinois, then collected $32,909 for her part in the hand, while the remaining eight players won $6,170 a piece for simply being at the same table. Furthermore, 71 other poker players collected $463 each after the jackpot was struck.
The Bad Beat Jackpot has since been reset with $1 from each subsequent poker pot worth $15 or more going towards the jackpot total. The Potawatomi Bingo Casino has 20 poker tables and commenting on the attraction of the casino’s jackpot, Poker Room Manager Jeff Gemini said:
“Our Poker guests have been asking for a Bad Beat Jackpot promotion for awhile, so it’s generated a lot of excitement and interest from players. We’re always looking for new ways to keep our players happy and it will definitely be interesting to see how large the next jackpot gets in the coming weeks. You just never know when it will hit again.”
