A world record was set at Playground Poker Club in Canada on Wednesday when a poker bad beat jackpot hit in a low-stakes cash game for CAD $2,590,185 (approximately $1.9 million USD).
The popular Quebec card room shared photos on social media of the hand along with the players involved celebrating. When it comes to a bad beat jackpot, it is customary for the player who lost the hand to receive the largest chunk of the pot and the winning player to also secure a big portion of the reward. Additionally, the other players at the table then split the remainder of the pot.
