A Bad Beat Jackpot is paid when one certain very high valued Poker hand is beaten in live play by a stronger hand, players have to opt in to get a chance of sharing the jackpot should such hands be dealt out to either themselves or their fellow players.

All of the other players sitting and playing at the Poker table where these two hands had been dealt out, if they opted in received a very generous 47k+ Euro payout each.

Sadly the player who actually won the game had not opted into the Bad Beat Jackpot pool and as such he missed out on his share of the jackpot which was 20% of the prize pool!

This means that this 20% share is now carried forward and has been added to the current Bad Beat Jackpot which is now starting to grow quite quickly. If there is a lesson to be learnt from this news it is that if you are playing at a Poker site such as Stan James Poker on a Poker game offering such a Bad Beat Jackpot then always make sure you opt in or you could end up missing out on that huge jackpot or a share of it, like the winner of the base game did.
