Online poker fans have been watching the Merge Poker Network Bad Beat Jackpot climbing steadily towards the million dollar mark, and it was finally won Monday, a great start to the lucky players’ week.
The big payout came when four Queens beat a player’s Quad Sevens on the $1/$2 LHE virtual table, earning the players around it a seventy percent share of the jackpot.
The fortunate loser took home $355,000, the player that bust him $177,000, and about $25,000 went to each of the players at the table when the action unfolded.
The remaining 30 percent was divvied up: 10 percent for admin fees and 20 percent to seed the next jackpot.
