$54,666 Bad Beat Poker Jackpot Hits At Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino
Winning a hand with four kings is a pretty good bet. However, as Glendale resident Thomas Reynolds (pictured on the right above) discovered recently, losing that hand can be much more rewarding. The Valley resident took home the largest share of a $54,666 jackpot when his unlikely loss triggered the progressive jackpot at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino. Reynolds’ four kings were beat by another player’s king high straight flush at the table. Called a “bad beat” because of the incredibly low probability of losing the hand, it turned into one of the best beats Reynolds could have hoped for. The Bad Beat progressive jackpot at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino was at $54,666 when Reynolds’ four kings were beaten and the amazing jackpot was split between the nine players at the table with Reynolds taking home the largest share. $
