As they say, everything’s bigger in Texas<\/a>, and their bad beat jackpots are no exception.<\/p>\n

Bad beat jackpots are one of the most popular cash game promotions at poker rooms and casinos all around the world, as well as most poker apps<\/a>. This past week, at the Lodge Card Club in Round Rock, Texas, the largest bad beat jackpot in Texas state history hit in a simple $1\/$2\/$5 Pot-Limit Omaha game.<\/p>\n

On a 5<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>4<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>3<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> flop, two unnamed players held A<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>K<\/span>♦<\/span><\/span>7<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span> and A<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span>K<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>♠<\/span><\/span>2<\/span>♣<\/span><\/span><\/span>, two completely legitimate hands.<\/p>\n

Both players flopped a straight flush, triggering the $289,376 bad beat jackpot. According to the Lodge’s bad beat jackpot rules, you have to have a losing straight flush on the flop in PLO in order to qualify.<\/p>\n

If it were Texas Hold’em, you would have to lose with at least quad tens while in Big-O, you would have to lose with a flopped nine-high straight flush or better.<\/p>\n

In the video below, you can see the phenomenal reaction around the table as the table realizes that they’ve triggered a massive jackpot, making everyone a huge winner.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the Lodge’s website, 50% of the jackpot went to the losing hand while 25% went to the winner. 25% of the money was distributed to the rest of the table.<\/p>\n

These percentages come out of the remaining portion of the jackpot after it paid out a $200 room share to each and every cash game player that were playing at the time of the jackpot at both the Austin and San Antonio locations.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear exactly how much the players were paid out as we have no idea how many players were paid a room share. If we approximate that there were 200 players involved in cash games at the two card rooms, that would leave a total of roughly $250,000 for the players at the table.<\/p>\n

This would give the “loser” of the hand $125,000, the “winner” $62,500, while the other seven players would split the remaining $62,500 for a little under $9,000 each.<\/p>\n

It’s worth remembering that at the end of September 2024, the second-largest bad beat jackpot in poker history hit<\/a> at the Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada, for $2.6M CAD (about $1.8M USD at the time).<\/p>\n
