The WPT Montreal just produced another Bad Beat Jackpot! Last night at 3:15AM, on a full 2$/5$ table, aces full of kings got undone by the board nuts. As is usually the case when these 2 hands hit the Secondary Bad Beat, the action was maxed out before the flop was revealed.
The action started slowly: the first 2 players to act limped in, but Philippe Boyer, sitting 3rd to act, raised it to $20. After 2 folds, Wenzhuo Zhang put in $65. David Cadoch, in the second seat to Zhang’s left, went all-in for $133. It looked like it was going to be a 2-player showdown, but Pasquale Pietracupa, the second limper, went all-in himself for $233. Philippe Boyer wasn’t going anywhere, he invested his full $419, and Zhang tagged along.
When all 5 community cards were turned –

! Just like that, $25,000 were divided among the 9 players at the table. 50% went to Zhang, while 25% went to Boyer, and the other 7 players at the table shared the last quarter.
Congratulations to everybody!!
