It’s been an exciting week in the world of Canadian poker, starting with the announcement that Playground Poker Club will play host to the WPT Montreal in November 2012 followed by Playground Players Club member Antonio Esfandiari winning over 18 million at this year’s WSOP in the Big One for One Drop Tournament. The excitement hit a fever pitch at Playground this past week with news of yet another Bad Beat Jackpot hitting, paying players over $112000.

The payday for players has now brought the overall BBJ total at Playground past the one million dollar mark. Mark Irgang was the big winner at the table, taking home a whopping $44,903 while Robert Vaillancourt cashed in for $22,449 with the winning hand, quad kings, which beat out a full house. The remaining seven players seated at the same table each walked away with $3,207 while all other cash game players who were in the club at the time, got to split the rest evenly at $1,247 apiece. There were a total of 27 cash game players at the club when the BBJ hit, which made for a nice payday for everyone.

‘The fact that Playground has not yet had its second anniversary and has already awarded cash game players with over a million dollars in bonus money is astounding’ commented David Montour, the club’s COO.
