One poker player got lucky when he was beat and scored a record breaking jackpot in the Borgata poker room.
The Atlantic City Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa recently paid out 332,544 to eight players, draining the Borgata Poker Bad Beat Jackpot. It took beating four of a kind to do it, and a poker player who decided that 20 hours of poker wasn’t enough.
Hien Huu Do had just wrapped a 20 hour poker session at the poker room and was actually sitting in his car, up $1,500, and about to head home. He had a feeling he should play a little more, went back inside and sat at a $1/$2 game. Carlo Santos was also at the table, and the other half of the bad beat equation. When Do wound up with four deuces and Santos with a straight flush, the table had cause to celebrate.
Do picked up $133,015, Santos $66,509, and the other six players at the table snagged $22,170 each.
