Has anyone won a badbeat jackpot online?

Has anyone won the badbeat jackpot online? Or know someone personally who has? There are several sites out there that have the badbeat jackpots. I played at absolute and carbon and came close. I flopped quad AAAA and the other player missed a royal flush.

One of the members of CardsChat won one recently, only about twenty years old IIRC...

yea he won a huge one at UB - there is a thread about it somewhere.

Not I but am interested in the responses you get. Good question.

wow didn't expect a yes to this answer. nice to see a forum member take down a bad beat jackpot. from the sounds of his answers he seemed like a good guy and probably deserved it. thanks for the thread about about the winner.

havent ever one 1 but came close on a couple of occasions i would ov loved to win the bad beat jackpot on carbon a few months back over 1m dollards

I have never personally won one online,came real close plenty of times but never online.
I was involved in a badbeat live once though.
I had kk my oponent had aa ,flop cme A,K,blank.turn brought another K giving me quad K's and them A full,.
Unfortuantly the jackpot was only up to around 30,000 or so.

Yeah, let's hope that Carbon don't decide to change the Terms & Conditions...

The ultimatebet one is probably the best chance to hit, it hits regularily like 1-2 times a week. Plus, you can get a table share or perhaps a few hundred $$ if it hits in the stakes you are playing.

Its currently at $560,000 which is abnormally large, its attracted a shitton of players on UB right now, im debating depositing to try and get a slice.

One of my close friends was at the same table stakes on UB when it hit and he got ~$300 or so.

I was at one of the bad beat tables where a bad beat happened, but it wasn't high enough. One guy had Quad 5's and got beat by Quad A's, but it has to be Quad 8's or higher to be considered a Bad Beat at UB. Oh well.

I thought the question had already been answered.

I would love to even be at the same table, not alone win one. I wonder if they would ever happen at the lower jackpot tables like 25/50 cents...It seems to me it would only happen on the higher stakes tables..But I wouldn't know this for sure. I'd like to see the stats on which stakes have hit the most jackpots and how often they hit??

It has happened numerous times at the .25/.50 tables on UB.

I had QQ once and hit quads on the flop.
Then a guy hits a royal flush on the river with J10.

Today was the first time I've ever seen a board that could even accomodate the BBJ. One of the guys was calling for a Q on a x K K Q board and the Q came but he was just bluffing it.

I've played more on UB the past couple of days than I had in the past month since their BBJ is over $600k now.

I am too Ted. Be nice to get a chunk of that $670K

Apparently the UB jackpot was missed very recently (it was at $350K at the time) because 2 idiots failed to bet on any street during this hand:

Absolute Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed)

Button ($34.50)
SB ($60.05)
BB ($28.05)
UTG ($49.82)
UTG+1 ($57.82)
MP1 ($32.55)
Hero ($51)
CO ($17.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T♣, 2♠.
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $2, 6 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.75) 7♣, Q♥, J♥ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

Turn: ($4.75) T♥ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

River: ($4.75) 8♣ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

Final Pot: $4.75

UTG has 9h 8h (straight flush, queen high).
UTG+1 has Kh Ah (straight flush, ace high).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins $4.75.

Had the final pot been $5 or more the rake would have been .25 which is the minimum required for a hand to qualify for the BBJ at UB. By not even making a min bet at some point the hand failed to qualify and both players lost out on THOUSANDS of $$.

Oh my. wow. what...the. uhh

I might be wrong, but from what I understand on CEREUS's BBJ, you need to use both of the cards in your hand in order for it to qualify.

In fact, here is the rules for the Bad Beat Jackpot on the CEREUS Network:

Yes, both hole cards must be used. The rule that these players failed to meet was: A Jackpot rake must be collected in the hand you are playing. Because the rake did not get to the level needed for the jackpot rake to be collected they did not win the jackpot.

You're right, I'm sorry I wasn't looking at the hand history correctly. Whoops. You are completely correct.

Hehe, I hope someone pointed out the error of their ways to them!

Surely both of them were using both of their hole cards?

UTG has 9h 8h (straight flush, queen high).
UTG+1 has Kh Ah (straight flush, ace high).

Oops, you beat me to it!

Haha, yea, I don't know what the hell I was looking at, but for some reason it looked wrong to me.
