At 5:43 a.m. PT, KADI hit the Absolute Poker Bad Beat Jackpot when her 10-high straight-flush lost to a king-high straight-flush. Her share of the record-high $821,670.69 jackpot was $267,042.97.

It has never been so lucrative to be sitting at a bad beat jackpot table since the record before this jackpot was nearly half as small at $464,652.03. The player with the king-high straight-flush took down the pot as well as an extra $133,521.48. In addition, the participants in the hand each received $33,380.37.
