This is a bad beat story worth listening too at Absolute Poker!

Only on Absolute Poker will you get this...

On July 11th at 11:46 pm ET, an online poker player who goes by the name of CALVINHOBBES did just that, losing quad Aces to a Royal Flush in a friendly game of Texas Hold’em at Absolute Poker.

At most online poker rooms and land-based casinos, a loss like that would be devastating.
But not this time. CALVINHOBBES was seated at one of Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot tables. If a player loses a hand holding four 8s or anything better at a Bad Beat Jackpot table, they’ve hit the jackpot. To help the jackpot build, $0.50 is collected from qualifying hands at Bad Beat Jackpot tables.

By the evening of July 11th, the jackpot had reached a record-setting $464,652.03. The previous jackpot of $297,287.63 was hit on July 3rd.

CALVINHOBBES’ share of the jackpot stands at $162,628.21. The participants in the bad beat jackpot hand will share an additional $162,628.21 with the pot winner taking over $81,000 and the remaining players walking away with over $20,000 a piece.

OMG this isn't that big of a deal. I wasnt a 2+2 member during party pokers rain of terror. Would some one fill me in on if someone made a post every time that hit. I believe that hit almost every week right.
