Last week at Canterbury the jackpot was up to $12,000 when it got hit here was the hand:

Player goes all in for his last $8 with A-A

The only caller was the Big Blind with K-K

All cards are turned face up.

Flop: A-K-K, they flop the Beat Beat.

A-A gets $60k and KK gets $30k, right? Wrong.

Turn: A, the Case Ace.

That turn card cost the A-A guy $30k. Now that is Bad Win.

That's rough! I wonder if I'd be sad to win...

Good wins, bad wins, I wish I had my share...

Is it me or am I reading this wrong? Becuase the A came up, which means he has the 4 aces, he loses $30k? Was this hi-low or some weird version that I am not acostumed to?

The way I read it, the loser gets the larger share of the bad beat jackpot (I assume the total jackpot was $120,000 and not $12,000).
When the AA guy was losing with his Aces full, he stood to get $60k from the jackpot, but by winning the hand his share was only $30k.

Of course, he did win the $16 pot as consolation.

Ahhh... I see now. Because he won, he lost the bad beat jackpot. Seems like the worst bad beat of all.

Hilarious... one of my buddies cashed in on that Canterbury Bad Beat jackpot a few months ago when he flipped a Royal Flush and his counterpart had Aces Full. $60K split... $30k to the Aces Full, $15K to my buddy with the Royal, $15K split amongst the rest of the table.

However, the guy that got up to have a smoke just before that hand got $0.
