Dec 18, 2008 - 11:41:06 AM

The Carbon Poker Bad Beat Jackpot broke a new record this week when it reached $770,000.  The jackpot, already the biggest of its kind online, is expected to break the $800,000 mark by the end of the month.

Since its introduction earlier this year, the Bad Beat Jackpot has attracted massive interest and is now one of the most popular options at the poker tables.  As the jackpot grows, so do the numbers of players flocking to the bad bet tables, excited by the prospect of winning a share of the massive jackpot.

To claim the prize, it only takes a hand of quad 7's or better getting busted, making it the lowest qualifying hand for a bad beat in online poker.

The Carbon Poker Bad Beat Jackpot is seeded by taking $0.50 from every pot on the Bad Beat labelled ring game tables. As soon as a player has a monster hand cracked, the jackpot will be won and every player at the table will receive a share while the person with the losing hand will receive the largest percentage.
