Best jackpot ever?

I was in Vegas a while ago, and I saw one of the funniest things in my life. I was playing 1/2nl at the Monte Carlo, where there are individual hand jackpots, the highest at the time bing a RF in hearts at just under 1k. It's around 2am, and a 30ish year old drunk guy raises UTG and gets 2 callers. Flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Drunk guy stands up from the table, starts cheering and running around the table, then runs back to the table to quietly tap his hand twice on the felt. It checks down to the river, where UTG bets and gets no callers, but the only requirement for the jackpot is that there is $10 in the pot and both cards must play. So drunky flips over A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for they [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] RF, for the pot and 1k jackpot. Then he gets up and starts running around and screaming again, and his drunk freind runs up to him to give him a hug....but accidentally tackles him, sending both of them to the ground and leaving the jackpot winner with a broken leg. He had to be taken out on a stretcher, but only after crawling back to the table to claim his jackpot. He was cheeering the whole way out (I guess he was too drunk to feel pain).
