18 June 2011 (London, UK) – The Bad Beat Jackpot at sites on the International Poker Network (IPN) is a world record breaking $1.2 million. After last week’s announcement of a record network jackpot, it is now set to smash the world jackpot record from 2009.
But it’s not just the jackpot that is at record levels as now being unlucky could be the most profitable decision of your life. Win big on the Bad Beat Jackpot tables when you lose with a hand of Four of a Kind Tens, or better and take home over €280,000.
If you are the winner of the pot with the best hand on the jackpot table you win an additional €140,000.
And the prizes keep on rolling even if you are dealt cards and then fold on the table where the jackpot hits, you still win big money – €18,000.
The IPN, operated by GTECH G2, is Europe’s largest independent poker network. It has more than 4,000,000 players and has dealt more than two billion hands. It includes such popular poker sites as VirginPoker.com, PokerHeaven.com, MermaidPoker.com and the Sportingbet.com poker room ParadisePoker.com.
