Rivers Casino Pittsburgh still holds the U.S. 'Congratulations to our winning guests and to our Rivers Pittsburgh Poker Room Team Members for doing a terrific job.'

'We are unexpectedly and happily becoming a national bad beat jackpot hotspot,' said Bud Green, general manager at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh. At Rivers, the losing hand earns 40% of the total amount, the highest-ranking hand wins 30% of the jackpot and the remaining players split the rest equally. Scott Thompson of Washington, Pa., held the four aces for the top prize, while Brent Enos of Jefferson Hills, Pa., held the royal flush - ace, king, queen, jack and 10 of hearts.Ī poker bad beat is when a rare high-ranking hand is beaten by an even higher-ranking hand, hence the losing hand triggers the bad beat jackpot and wins the lion’s share of the money. The remaining six players each won $45,281. Two extraordinary hands triggered the bad beat: One player had four aces and was beaten by another player with a royal flush.
