ACES & 8'S INTRODUCES

BAD BEAT JACKPOT

THE LOWEST QUALIFYING HAND TO BE BEATEN IS THE ACES OVER QUEENS FULL HOUSE.  THIS MUST BE BEATEN BY ACES OVER KINGS OR BETTER.

.

TO QUALIFY FOR THE BAD BEAT , EACH PLAYER MUST USE BOTH OF THEIR HOLE CARDS.

.

WHEN A BAD BEAT OCCURS AT YOUR TABLE, THE CARDS MUST REMAIN AS DEALT AND THE PIT BOSS CALLED TO THE TABLE IMMEDIATELY.

.

THE PIT BOSS WILL VERIFY THE HANDS AND GET A CONCENSUS AT THE TABLE THAT THIS IS A VALID BAD BEAT.

.

THE SPLIT WILL BE 60/40:  60% TO THE LOSER AND 40% TO THE WINNER. IF AN OWNER OF ACES & 8'S IS INVOLVED IN THE BBJ HAND, ALL OF THE JACKPOT WILL GO TO THE OTHER PLAYER INVOLVED

.

WHEN THE BAD BEAT IS CONFIRMED BY THE PIT BOSS, THEY WILL CALL IN AND ALL PIT BOSSES WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE WIN.  IT WILL THEN BE ANNOUNCED AT ALL CONCURRENT SHOWS.  ALL DETAILS, LOSER, WINNER, VENUE AND JACKPOT AMOUNT WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THE WEBSITE THE FOLLOWING DAY.

.

THE JACKPOT WILL START AT $200.00 AND CASH WILL BE ADDED DAILY ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN ATTENDANCE AT ALL ACES & 8'S SHOWS.  THIS WILL BE A PROGRESSIVE BAD BEAT JACKPOT.

.

WINNERS WILL BE PAID AT THE UPCOMING GOLD RUSH AND TOP 40 ROUND UP TOURNAMENTS.
