The Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot Hits at
Salamanca Poker Room and pays out over $114,774
Douglas Capozzi of Gowanda, NY got a “bad beat” at Seneca Gaming & Entertainment’s Poker Room at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel on April 23, 2009, but unlike most poker players who get a bad beat, Capozzi isn’t complaining. He and the other eight $1-$2 No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em players at the table were awarded a total of $114,774.93 when his four nines were beat by Joseph Izzo’s straight flush in clubs. Capozzi won $57,387.47 and Izzo won $28,693.73.
The Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot grows with each pot that reaches over $20 in the poker room. Once a pot reaches $20, one dollar per player is put into the Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot. This fund builds up over time until a player gets a qualifying bad beat. A qualifying bad beat hand is when a player with four-of-a-kind gets beat by another player with a higher four-of-a-kind or better, including the two cards in their hand. The standard distribution for a bad beat progressive jackpot is 50% to the winner (the losing hand), 25% to the winning hand, and 25% to the remainder of the players who were dealt in at the table. The jackpot winners are as follows:
