A little scene from WPT with Michael Mizrachi and Scotty Nguyen complementing each others style of play. These guys have huge respect for each other and I have met both. Scotty never refuses an autograph or a moment to talk to a fan. Good on you BABY!

I am not sure where credit is due for this anonymous submission, but it is a short screen capture of a huge bad beat jackpot going off at Absolute Poker recently. I believe it to be the largest bad beat jackpot ever to be hit at AP with 4 aces being cracked by a royal flush.
A bad beat is when a poker player has the strongest hand in the beginning but ends up getting beat.
For instance if you have a pair of 4s in your hand and the flop is 4-4-5, and your opponent has Ace-5 and hits a 5 of the turn and a 5 on the river, that's a bad beat.
Some land based poker rooms and online poker rooms offer a bad beat jackpot. Normally a small fee is taken from each pot, typically .50c in most online poker rooms. This makes it a progressive bad beat jackpot as the amount of the jackpot increases every hand played.
Every poker room divides the prize pool up differently but usually 50% of the jackpot goes to the loser of the hand (the one who took the "bad beat"), 25% goes to the winner of the hand and the remaining 25% goes to the rest of the table.
Every room sets the standards of what a "bad beat" is, but normally 4 of a kind must lose in order to be a part of the jackpot.
