The IPN “Bad Beat” Beats the “Bad Beat Jackpot” Record

December 31, 2010

The International Poker Network is fast approaching the World Record Bad Beat Jackpot. The current record was set back in March 2009, when one U.S. Facing site had their Bad Beat Jackpot Hit at $1.2 Million.
 

The International Poker Network is just about to surpass this, with their jackpot (at time of writing) being €825,000; which equates to $1.18 Million.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re the unluckiest poker player in the world?

Do your monster hands keep getting crushed by an even bigger hand?

Such misfortune usually causes a lot of frustration…..    but from now on you can actually celebrate your bad beats. With our Bad Beat Jackpot you’ll finally be hoping to lose.

We collect 50 cents from the pot of every raked hand played on our Bad Beat Jackpot tables. So the more you play, the bigger the pay-out.

Win on our Bad Beat Jackpot tables if you lose with a hand of Four of a Kind Tens, or better.
