Bad beat jackpot hits at PB Kennel
So, the bad beat jackpot built up to $233,400 before it hit Sunday night at Palm Beach Kennel Club.
Charles Infantolino's four queens in a game of 7-card stud won him $116,700.
The jackpot had been going for almost two month and is believed to be a record for Florida poker rooms, which just got the OK to operate jackpots back on July 1, when the state changed some gambling rules.
Infantolino, 64, lost to Tasha Johnson, who had a straight flush: A through 5 of spades. Johnson, 29, of Riviera Beach won $58,350.
So, here come the questions:
1.) Because PB Kennel combines the Omaha, 7-Stud and Hold 'em jackpots, are you, as a Hold'em player, a little ticked off, even though the club weights the hands so there's no advantage to play one game or another?
2.) If you won, how much would you tip the dealer?
3.) I'm trying to catch up with Infantolino, but am failing. If you hit it big, would you go into hiding?
