It has been my experience that problems can arise when an unfamiliar situation presents itself and a ruling is required. In the case of a ruling on a Jackpot hand, this could be quite a bit of money involved in the decision and people might just end up being visibly upset. Really.
Now this is about an improbable a situation you would ever hear of, but it occurred to me today that you could conceiveably have a hand in Texas Hold'em where TWO "Bad Beats" occur on the same hand.
Give one player AA, another KK, and another 33.
Let's make the board AK3-3-K.
All players are using both their hole cards, and the AAAKK loses to 3333A which is beaten by KKKKA.
Are provisions typically in place for just such an occurrence in most cardrooms? How would this be handled?
I realize this is of about as much practical use as "should you bet or checkraise a Royal Flush" but I thought I'd throw it out there.
