Part of bad beat jackpot at pechanga today

Me and my buddy roll to pechanga today. We get in there and there is no board for 2-4 but only one open seat so my buddy takes it, i turn around to put my name on the board and one of the host ladies says shes got another seat open.

Sit down and play for about 20-25 minutes.

get Ak Clubs in MP, I raise and get SB and BB to call, flop comes rainbow AAQ, check check I bet, call call, turn is another A, by this time everyone is freaking out, the table captain as he was tells everyone just to shutup and be calm, the dealer calls over the floor, the floor checks it out and then says ok continue, check check I bet, SB calls, then BB the idiot goes to show the lady who was next to him his cards as he folds, luckily the floor guy saw as it was about to happen and told him that would void the jackpot, he folds, come to find out after the excitement the guy didnt even know what the jackpot was and was just playing his hand. Now at this point I think ok well the guy has a Q and was more excited about my quads than the notion of hitting the jackpot. So River is an X, i think maybe a 2, SB checks i bet he calls and turns over his JJ, I turn over my AK and the table goes crazy.

So the total bad beat at the time for 2-4 was $3700, but we were in their double jackpot times so pot was actuall $7400.

We got kinda worried because they said they had to go review the tapes and see if the BB actually showed the lady his cards.

So after about an hour and a half of play they finally decide that its ok and they come with the money, guy who lost get 40% which was about $2900, I got 20% which was about $1400, and everyone else split 40% which worked out to be about $420 per person.

Not to shabby. So after that I got up and left, treated my family to a nice dinner, paid for most of the vacation in April, and now am going to stick about 400 into poker, maybe sit a little bigger than 2-4.

oh and if your wondering, I only made about 35 off the pot.

Anyway just thought I would share.
