Life-Changing Money

Flanagan took home the largest share of the jackpot, a tidy $490,708 which amounts to 40%. Broderson received 30%, a nice $368,029, while the remaining six players all took home a bonus of $61,338 just for being at the table.

Only a fortnight ago, Rivers Pittsburgh Casino was promoting the bad beat jackpot as it approached $1.2 million, feeling that it had to come soon.

The bad beat jackpot is a novel idea that encourages poker players to come and play with the small chance that they can unexpectedly win big on any given night.

In 2018, a player won $427,452 at Motor City Casino in Detroit after setting off a $1,068,590 jackpot, and there have been a couple of similar size wins across the border in Canada in the last few years.
