Well, the anticipation is over, the record breaking $821,670 bad beat jackpot at the online poker site Absolute Poker has been won. Wednesday, an Australian poker player (KADI) got the bad beat jackpot but all at the table shared in the bonanza.
This is the biggest bad beat jackpot ever recorded eclipsing the previous mark set by Party poker at $739,621.
