Many land-based poker rooms offer players a bad beat jackpot, usually requiring aces full to get beaten by four of a kind or higher. Naturally, the chances of such situations occurring are rather slim, so card rooms pour thousands of dollars into bad beat jackpots to provide a lucrative bonus to tempt poker players to stay and play. Typically, when a bad beat jackpot is hit, the player with the winning hand receives 25%, the player with the losing (badly beaten) hand receives 50%, and the other players at that poker table split the remaining 25%.
Recently, a Palm Springs, California, casino was the site of an unbelievably rare event. The Agua Caliente poker room awarded two bad beat jackpots in the same evening, in the space of one hour, to players at the same table! In fact, the same player was badly beaten twice within one hour to scoop a total of over $14,000 in bad beat jackpot money. All the action took place at a low-limit Texas Hold 'em table. First, the player's aces over threes full house got beaten by quad aces. No sooner had the noise subsided and the high fives been exchanged at the table when, a few hands later, the same player had his aces full of tens beaten by someone else who had flopped a royal flush!
