Whee! I just won part of the bad beat jackpot on Party Poker. I was playing 4 BBJ tables at the $3/6 level when I got this hand:

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG raises, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, Hero calls, BB folds.

Flop: (7 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, MP3 calls, Hero raises, UTG 3-bets, MP3 folds, Hero caps, UTG calls.

River: (14 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls $3 (All-In).

Final Pot: 15.50 BB
Main Pot: 15 BB, between UTG and Hero. > Pot won by Hero (15 BB).
Pot 2: 0.50 BB, returned to Hero.

Results in white below: 
Hero has Td Ts (four of a kind, tens).
UTG has 9c 9h (four of a kind, nines).
Outcome: Hero wins 15.50 BB. 

It wasn't a huge amount, but pretty good lick. I got 25% for $14,587.98. The bad beat dude got twice that, and the rest of the table split $14,587.98.

Sweet! Congratulations man. It's too bad the Jackpot wasn't bigger, but hey, an extra $14.5K is a nice treat! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just curious, do you know how large the total jackpot was? Probably around $70,000?

Very cool. Next time try to have quad 8's when up against quad 9's.

You can think of it as winning 2450 BB in the hand, sounds bigger that way. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Heheh, yeah that's gonna throw off his pokertracker stats for a while.

Wow grats man! 14k is pretty damn sweet!

Do they make you jump through hoops when you win a jackpot, like sending I.D., utility bills, pledging allegiance to the flag, or whatever?

How was it not capped on the river?

Villian is all in.

imagine the bitching on his part he hits quads on the river, is near allin...then loses.
