BetOnline Bad Beat Jackpot Strikes for Record Payout

The record setting Bad Beat Jackpot on USA-friendly BetOnline struck over the weekend with the prizepool totaling just under $1 Million. The lucky hand took place at a $1/$2 NLH 6-max table - generating a healthy return for all involved. 

Player Tyrant opened the pot with a $5 raise, and was 3-bet by pokerplayer4ever to $18. Tyrant made the call and the flop came down 8d - 9d - Jd. Tyrant checked to his opponent who bet $10.17. Tyrant called, bringing the turn card: the 4d. Both players checked to the river, where the virtual dealer produced the Jh completing the 8d - 9d - Jd - 4d - Jh board. 

Tyrant check-called pokerplayer4ever’s $179.22 shove and the hands were revealed: 

pokerplayer4ever: Qd-Td (straight flush, eight to queen)

Tyrant: Js - Jc (four of a kind jacks)
