Mega Bad Beat Poker Jackpot Hit At Coconut Creek Casino For $183,628

Pauline Medoff from Delray Beach was celebrating her ‘bad luck’ last Wednesday, after having four queens beaten by her opponent’s straight flush during a $2 limit poker game at a Florida casino.
After hitting quad queens on Aug. 4th at 10:50 a.m at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, Pauline Medoff couldn’t have been in much doubt she had her opponent crushed in the hand.
This was surely a fair assumption to make when you consider the odds of being dealt 4 of a kind are one in 4,165 and the chances of an opponent then beating quads with a straight flush are an astronomical one in 72,192.
However, that is exactly what Robert P. had done in order to win the hand, but Pauline’s disappointment was short lived after she realised she had won the lion’s share of the casino’s Mega Bad Beat Jackpot worth an impressive $183,628.
All told, the 88-year-old Medoff was awarded $91,814 for having her monster hand beaten, while Robert P took home $55,089. As well as the two regulars picking up the prize money, the remaining four players at the table also got to share in the jackpot and collected $9,181 a piece for merely being at the same table.
The Seminole Casino Coconut Creek has now payed out a whopping $680,850 in Mega Bad Beat Jackpot since December  and commenting on the latest news, Jeffrey Hook, senior vice president of marketing, Seminole Gaming said:
