If the first two weeks of 2008 are any indication of things to come, online poker players have a lot to look forward to this year. Popular poker room Absolute Poker has already paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars after seeing its Bad Beat Jackpot surpass the $400,000 mark and edge closer and closer to $500,000.
ITALIANMEX put a stop to the jackpot's climb on Sunday when the online poker player lost a hand of Texas Hold'em at Absolute Poker's Bad Beat Jackpot tables. Losing a five-high straight flush to CWISCHUN's eight-high straight flush, ITALIANMEX immediately set off Absolute Poker's Bad Beat Jackpot bells to the tune of $431,355.46.
For his loss at the table, ITALIANMEX secured $140,190.52. The winner of the hand left the table $70,095.26 richer and three other players who were seated in the hand each took home $17,523.81 in cash.
Absolute Poker is paying online poker players for their losing hands and Texas Hold'em fans from around the world are being drawn to the site for a piece of the next jackpot.
