Ryan Rivers Wins the Bad Beat Jackpot for $72,000
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
The Seneca Poker Room has been lively for several weeks as players looked to cash in on the massive Bad Beat Jackpot which was the largest the room had seen since 2010. It had gone several months without hitting �� until last night.
Ryan Rivers, who is playing in this tournament, scooped the lion's share of the jackpot last night for $72,000. It happened at a $1/2 no-limit hold'em table when Rivers ran quad threes into a queen-high straight flush. Rivers got half of the $144,000 prize, while the winner of the pot collected 25% ($36,000), and the other players at the table split the other 25%.
Congratulations to Ryan and everyone else at the table who got a piece of the jackpot.
