Only two weeks after a $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot was hit on the Merge Gaming Network, Boss Media's own Bad Beat Jackpot has eclipsed the $1 million mark (777,000 in euros). This is the first time the jackpot prize has reached $1 million since a record $1.8 million prize went off last July. In order to eligible for a Bad Beat Jackpot hand, a player must be seated at specially designated Bad Beat Jackpot No Limit and Fixed Limit tables. To trigger a jackpot prize a player must lose with Quad Tens, a relatively difficult jackpot to hit compared to bad beat jackpots on other sites, which is part of the reason the network has had two $1 million dollar jackpots six months apart from each. Jackpots that reach such high levels are of particular interest to recreational and value-minded players alike. Recreational player tend to gravitate towards the games of hoping to grab that big score, much in the way lottery sales go up for big prizes. What many value-minded players realize, which escapes certain recreational players, is that the value of playing these tables has a positive expectation when they reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, albeit with very high variance. With that in mind and the fact everyone likes the thought of a big score, consider promoting this Bad Beat Jackpot prize in your February marketing efforts. Let's take a look at some of the internet's largest current Bad Beat Jackpots: Boss Media: $1,011,050 (Quad Tens) Winning Poker: $520,970 (Quad Sevens) Microgaming: $421,000 (Quad Eights) Merge Gaming: $104,000 (Quad Sevens) Party Poker: $101,605 (Quad Eights)
Congratulations to the winners of the largest Bad Beat Jackpot in the history of online poker, which hit the record breaking prize at 8:59 GMT this morning while the jackpot sat at €1,265,583.34 ($1,834,426), a progressive prize that was months in the making. OmgoMgomGo, a PokerHeaven player, lost the hand with Quad Kings and took home a shade over €442,000. The winner of the hand, 7Adelaida7, held Quad Aces and netted €221,477.

The Bad Beat Jackpot hand flopped the As 9H Kc giving each player a set. The turn card then came the Ks and the river the Ac to give each player Quads, which met the minimum requirement of Quad Tens. With 20% of the total jackpot being held over to reseed the next jackpot, the jackpot now sits just over €250,000. If the player that lost the hand was signed up by an affiliate, the affiliate could also win a prize of €10,000, assuming they advertised the Bad Beat Jackpot as outlined by the Boss Media Bad Beat Jackpot affiliate promotion. If an affiliate referred the winning player of the hand, they would win €5,000. Referring one of the seven to receive a table share prize would net the affiliate €500. Affiliates will be notified shortly if one of their players was lucky enough to take home part of this record breaking prize.
