The lucky loser was the player who hit poker with a TT combination on the 8TT72 board. At the time the previous record was broken, this bar had already been at its lowest point for months. In the first months after breaking the record, a hand that loses at least a poker ace qualifies for the BBJ, and then every three months the potentially winning hand is reduced by one level to four deuces. In the Playground, 2 dollars from every pot is withdrawn to BBJ, which helps to quickly build a massive jackpot. It is no coincidence that world records are being broken in this poker club. A BBJ worth $2,228,425 CAD - about $1.6 million US - was paid out in the same poker room at the time. With the new record, they beat the previous one, which was set there in June last year. Montreal's Playground Poker Club rewrote history for the second year in a row. At the $1/$2 NLH limits, they got a brutal hit when they conquered the massive Bad Beat Jackpot worth 2,590,185 Canadian dollars, which is 1,937,645 US dollars! This jackpot went down indelibly in history as the biggest BBJ payout in live poker history! Unbelievably lucky were the players who sat down at the cash-game tables at the Playground Poker Club in Montreal, Canada, on Wednesday, August 2.
