Bad beat jackpot hits at the Isle for $237,000
The Mega Bad Beat hit at the Isle Casino Pompano Park Poker room. Ten players took home a share of over $237,000 in cash prizes. Thomas Gennaro of Miami Beach was big end 50 percent winner and walked away with over $118,000.
Jeffrey Finlayson of Pompano Beach with small end 25 percent share won over $59,000. The share for the others at the table was $7,434 each.

Thanks, Jay, I WAS wondering.
I was at the Isle on Friday night and the dealer who did the bad beat came around.
In a not-so-subtle play by me (I never say who I'm with) I asked about his tip. Hey, I was losing and steaming.
He said he couldn't tell, and I don't blame him.
Congrats to the winner(s) and the dealer.

I work at the Isle as a dealer.....just so you know..the dealer got under 10,000 and it was from the whole table.....the winner of the big end gave 3000.00 but also tipped all the dealers in the room equaling another 3000.00...know the truth before you make a comment
