The Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) has paid out a total of $470 792 shared between 10 lucky players when the Bad Beat Jackpot was hit twice in two days.
 
A regular player at NordicBet Poker made the first hit on Saturday, 12 February and took home $195 404 – a lucky loser indeed!  Three other players at the table also shared in the win.
 
The player commented: “I knew that my Four of a Kind Tens weren’t enough to beat my opponent’s Royal Flush, although when I looked moments later I saw notification of my win and realised that I had hit the Bad Beat Jackpot, I started screaming! I still can’t believe I won and now I think it’s time to relax before taking my place back at the poker table.”
 
Shortly after the first hit, the Bad Beat Jackpot struck a second time on Sunday 13 February, paying out $79,985 between six players.
 
A Microgaming Poker Network spokesperson confirmed that this is the largest Bad Beat Jackpot won to date on the network and the first time its been won twice in two days.  Winnings will be paid out in single payments to the lucky players
