Bad Beat Means Big Win for UB.com Poker Player

Tweet Share

Poker can be a heartless game; every player has experienced that sinking feeling of having a great hand swallowed up by an even better one. For online player “KAPPIT”, a recent bad loss turned into a huge win at UB.com when she earned an incredible bad beat jackpot at the online poker room.

On Tuesday, September 7^th, KAPPIT, a 60 year-old woman from Ferris, Texas was playing a $0.25/$0.50 cash game at the CEREUS Network website when she caught the kind of hand that players dream about: quad nines. Confidence in a near-certain winning hand melted away when she showed her cards and got a big surprise; her 9s didn’t look like they would win her anything as her opponent “CJBV” turned over quad queens!

While a feat that only carries a 0.031% probability of occurring seems like a tough loss, it turned into a big win for KAPPIT, CJBV and the 617 others playing on UB.com at that moment. Losing with quad 9s kicked in the website’s Bad Beat Jackpot, which was standing at a whopping $670,575.38. At UB.com, the BBJ, as it is called, pays out when a player loses with quad 8s or higher.

While CJBV won the hand, KAPPIT was the big winner, picking up $218,115.71 from the BBJ. CJBV did profit, taking an amazing $109,057.85 for his part in the historic event. Just being at the table landed 7 players a fat $1,000 bonus, and the remaining 610 got $89.36 just for playing on UB.com at that moment.

KAPPIT said of the big win, “I’ve been playing Poker for 45 years now, mostly live poker, and I hit a jackpot once in a land-based Casino, but this is the biggest prize I’ve ever got. Hats off to UB Poker. It was ‘SO’ my lucky day to capture the Bad Beat Jackpot. Looks like our dream of trading off our 1995 truck will finally happen. Keep those jackpots coming UB…Dreams do come true.”

Sometimes it pays to be unlucky; for KAPPIT, CJBV and 617 other players at UB, that was certainly true on September 7^th. Over the history of the BBJ, UB has given away $58,114,636.59…maybe it’s time for players to sign up at UB.com, walk under a ladder, have their path crossed by a black cat, and start being “unlucky” so they can win big by taking a huge loss in UB’s Bad Beat Jackpot.
