Massive Jackpot Wins in Foxwoods Poker Room: Monstrous Bad Beat Incident Occurs
Record-Breaking Bad Beat Jackpots Shake Up Poker World
A series of massive bad beat jackpots have recently sent shockwaves through the poker community, with some of the largest payouts ever recorded taking place in North America.
In a dramatic turn of events, a hand at a $1/$3 no-limit hold'em cash game at Foxwoods Casino Resort in Connecticut saw a player with pocket eights hit quads, only to be outdone by another player with pocket kings who also made quads. The losing player took home a substantial sum of $114,993 (40%), while the winner pocketed $57,496 (20%). The bad beat jackpot at Foxwoods was set off when quad eights were beaten, provided both players played both hole cards. The remaining amount from the jackpot was split among all other players in the room.
Just a few days prior, another near-record $2.2 million poker bad beat jackpot occurred at an unspecified location. This jackpot, while falling short of the all-time record, is still an impressive payout.
The largest jackpot in the United States was recorded at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh in August 2022, amounting to an impressive $1.20 million. This remains the all-time record for a bad beat jackpot in the US. More recent jackpots include a $290,000 record set at The Lodge Card Club in Texas, which is significantly smaller than the Rivers Casino record but noteworthy as a state record.
Canada's Playground, a popular poker venue in Quebec, has been the spot for many of the biggest bad beat jackpots ever. In August 2023, the largest jackpot there amounted to CAD $2.6 million (USD $1.9 million), making it the largest jackpot anywhere. Another monster bad beat of $1.6 million was hit at Playground earlier this month. The second biggest bad beat jackpot at Playground occurred back in April, amounting to CAD $1.81 million, which is the second biggest in history.
It is rare for bad beat jackpots in the United States to run so high, making these recent payouts all the more noteworthy. Foxwoods Casino Resort currently has a seven card stud jackpot over $105,000, providing another opportunity for a life-changing payout.
