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.

It is no mean feat getting to be the number one rated poker player in the world. I first met Michael by chance at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles in 2005 when my then wife and I ran into him in the hotel lobby. She had known Michael and his brother many years ago in South Florida. That evening we had a fantastic meal and I remember poker pro Phil Ivey calling on his cell to see if Michael was interested in a few rounds of golf at 50k a hole the next day... In 2006 Michael "The Grinder" was voted the number one player in the world by Card Player magazine.
