The largest ever Bad Beat Jackpot in Florida was won at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino on Monday.
The Bad Beat Jackpot was at $563,912 dollars when it was won and made the action in the Hard Rock’s poker room come to a screeching halt.
The Poker Room Manager, Henry Fuke said, “There was absolutely a huge response in the room when this happened; people from all the other tables came over to see and congratulate the winners”,
Both of the lucky winners were local players, Glen Upchurch of Clearwater was the ‘loser’ when his four sixes lost to William Lericke’s straight flush to the eight of Spades. Glen Upchurch too home a $282,453 dollar jackpot for his losing hand and William Lewicke won the pot and another $141,227 dollars from the badbeat jackpot.
Since the jackpot is shared by everyone at the table the other eight players also got to walk away with an unexpected payday of $17,654 dollars. The Bad Beat Jackpot started building on April 28th after it was hit for $385,923 dollars.
This is the largest prize that has ever been won at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa. The jackpot was reset and currently it stands at $185,621 dollars and will continue to grow until the next lucky loser triggers it.
