The 5s is considered higher than the 5h if it makes any difference.

Yes, this qualifies. An in hand kicker plays before a board kicker.

You've confirmed this with Party?

An email (today) to Party support suggests that J_B's right:

[ QUOTE ]

As per the qualifying requirements for bad beat, the losing hand must contain four of a kind (8ýs) or better to qualify.

As per your example, the Board cards are Ts 9s 9c 9d 8s.
Player A has Qs Js.
Player B has Th 9h.
The best hand of Player A is a straight flush 8s, 9s, Ts, Js, Qs.
The best hand of Player B is a four of kind 9's. The cards that are considered are 9s, 9c, 9d, 9h, Th.

As per the rule, both the best hand of the winner and the loser must include both the hole cards. Hence, the player B would use Th and not Ts.

In this case, the player B is eligible to qualify for the bad beat jackpot if all the other qualifying factors are satisfied.

Determining whether this is a valid answer or just Party support screwing up again is left as an exercise for the reader [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This might be correct....but I somehow suspect that this customer-support rep is just kind of guessing.



Jackpot finally hit btw.
Went to the market to pick up a couple things and then was ready to settle down to multi-table and hope to hit it....and upon my return someone beat me to it.

oh well.

I'm GyreGrus.

That redknob's quite an aggressive player.

[MicroBob]

could have actually had a 3-way qualifier at this table as well....but nobody had the quad 9's.

Congrats gustav. (I only dropped a ton when I finally started running bad on the 10/20 and 15/30 BBJ tables....yuck, this turned out to be a rather unpleasant experience for me).
