By Simon Young<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve made online poker history! PartyPoker’s popular Bad Beat Jackpot has been smashed after reaching a stunning world record\u00a0 of $1,013,381. The magical figure – the first time a bad beat jackpot has shot through the $1 million mark – was shared by players battling it out in a .50\/1 limit hold’em game at our jackpot cash tables.<\/p>\n

And what a hand it was – quad nines beaten by a royal flush! Our bad beat jackpot pays out if quad eights or better are defeated, so player judith75 <\/strong>picked up the huge $354,683.57 for losing with quads, while player Hiyaall <\/strong>was given $177,341.79 (plus the $24 for winning the pot!) for winning with the best possible hand in poker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everyone else at the table – bucktooth1, wisard333, pelusin111, DismasX, fkjnyh, hc8601, chimbila007 and ShoulderGuy<\/strong> – picked up $22,167.72 just for sharing the same felt. To add to the drama of the hand, ShoulderGuy <\/strong>was third with a full house of kings over nines!<\/p>\n

The jackpot tables had been packed with action as the bad beat figure kept rising relentlessly. It’s the beauty of PartyPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot that anyone can win it, no matter what limits they are playing.<\/p>\n

Finally, at 23:12 ET on Thursday night, all hell let loose at a .50\/1 limit game. Here’s what happened:<\/p>\n

We guaranteed a $1 million prize pool, but such was the interest from our brilliant players that the pool shot through the million gate and ended up at $1,245,800. Player TherookieQQ9 <\/strong>took first place, pocketing a very tasty\u00a0 $233,775 for his efforts.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all our players , and remember to check out the latest Bad Beat Jackpot figure in your Lobby – it shoots up pretty fast!<\/p>\n
