The poker world celebrated a massive bad beat jackpot payout of CAD $2,275,388 at Playground Poker Club. Yann took home $455,077 while Elie received $864,000 for being the loser.
The hand featured Yann holding pocket aces against Elie's pocket nines, which turned into a four-of-a-kind on the turn. Yann then hit quads with a river ace, triggering the jackpot.
Bad beat jackpots occur when a stronger hand beats a premium hand, with casinos contributing a portion of cash game pots to build the jackpot, much like slot machine progressive jackpots.
Playground Poker Club has made headlines with significant payouts and holds the record for the largest bad beat jackpot in August 2023, showing its appeal in the poker community.
