Early Friday evening got a boost when the Omaha Bad Beat Jackpot was won on table 13. This is one of the “usual” PLO tables, and is often the site of some of Playground’s largest games – and when you add a Jackpot to that, it adds up to a lot of happy PLO players!
There were seven players at the normally 8-handed table when the fateful hand occurred, and before cards were event dealt Hafedh B had juiced things a little bit by adding a $10 straddle after the blinds. Charles B then opened with a raise to $35 and there were two callers. Three players to the flop.
Flop: 
Action checked around, and the turn came 
… There would be no more checking in this hand…
Hafedh opened with a $75 bet, and Charles made the call. The third player in the hand to this point chose to fold his cards.
River 
Another Club came on the river and Hafedh led out for $200, only to be met with a shove from Charles, which was quickly called. No more action – it was time for showdown!
Hafedh B: 
Charles B: 
Charles had flopped Quad Kings… but was out-drawn by the runner-runner clubs that gave Hafedh the Straight Flush to the King!
The Jackpot to be distributed was over $34,000! Charles – the loser of the hand but winner of the Jackpot – will win $13,797, while Hafedh will win $6,898 (plus the sizeable pot!). Each of the four other players at table 13 has won $1,379, and 20% of the Jackpot total will be distributed to each of the players on the only other PLO table in action at the time.
Congratulations!
