South Florida Gambling
The bad beat jackpot has passed the $150,000 mark at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.
It'll pay off if someone has aces full of jacks and loses to four of a kind or better.
50% will go to the qualifying losing hand, 30% will go to the qualifying winning hand and 20% will be divided among the players at the table who were dealt cards when the qualifying hand was dealt.
So, someone's going to win $75,000.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
