It\u2019s been a few weeks of bad beat jackpots<\/strong> across GGPoker<\/a> platforms. The online poker<\/a> site has chalked up more than $300,000<\/strong> in payouts since just before the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n

A bad beat jackpot is awarded in cash games when a player lands a premium hand<\/strong> and still loses to an even bigger hand. For example, the recent payouts came as players actually lost hands with quads.<\/span><\/p>\n

The player who loses the hand rakes in the largest share of the jackpot with the winning player also getting a big chunk. The other players at the table also receive a nice reward from the pool as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several players were happy to have been at these tables over the last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bad beat jackpot No.1: Massive payout on GGPoker\/WSOP site in Canada<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first big bad beat payout came on Dec. 28 at WSOP.ca<\/strong><\/a>. The site that is a partnership with the World Series of Poker<\/strong><\/a> in Ontario, Canada. WSOP.ca features championship ring and bracelet events throughout the year and is exclusive to that Canadian province.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an Omaha cash game in early January, a player named \u201cBafaym<\/strong>\u201d flopped a royal flush. A second player named \u201ctimmy turnem<\/strong>\u201d landed a set on the flop with his pocket Queens. The case Queen then fell on the river and brought about the $130,673<\/strong> payout.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winner of the hand collected $27,515 from the pool. The \u201closer\u201d grabbed $84,853<\/strong> and three other players at the table scored $6,788 each. The huge hand seemed to kickstart a few weeks of massive payouts on GG.<\/span><\/p>\n
