In this case it was Adam Lister, who had 5♥4♥ on a board of 6♥7♥8♥ with which he lost against 10♥9♥ from Yusuke Sawauchi. He still took home a cool $83,000, while the remaining $83,000 was split among the remaining six players at the table.
The minimum requirement to qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot at Venetian is to lose with Quad Nines or better.
