It was a very happy Thanksgiving Day for the 198 players across Caesars Entertainment poker rooms in Las Vegas who split almost $767,000 on the holiday eve.
Shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27, the record-breaking Mega Beat Progressive poker jackpot hit. Gary’s Royal Flush of diamonds beat Linda’s four Jacks inside the Flamingo Las Vegas poker room. It was Thanksgiving Eve but one of the players had clearly put the traditional wishbone to work early this year.
In this Texas Hold’em hand, Gary from Costa Mesa, Calif., had ace/10 of diamonds while Linda from Georgetown, Ind., had pocket jacks. The flop came out king of diamonds, four of hearts, jack of diamonds. Linda bet her 3 jacks; Gary called on a flush draw.
The turn came queen of diamonds, giving Gary a royal flush. Gary checks to Linda, who bets $4; he calls. The river comes jack of spades, securing the mega beat jackpot.
The energy was electric as both players bet into each other back and forth. Once they showed their cards the entire Flamingo poker room erupted with applause.
This was repeated across the Las Vegas Strip as the jackpot was announced at participating Caesars Entertainment poker rooms. The Jackpot awards not only the losing hand and winning hand but all players actively playing in any of the participating Caesars Entertainment poker rooms.
All 198 players playing at the time in Harrah’s Las Vegas, The Quad Resort & Casino, Flamingo Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Caesars Palace and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino poker rooms split $766,951.
Linda, having the losing hand, won $156,189 and the winner, Gary, took home $79,406. All other players received $2,711 for simply playing in Caesars poker rooms at the right time.
The Mega Beat Progressive Poker Jackpot was introduced to the Las Vegas market at the beginning of 2013. With a progressive model the jackpot has the potential to climb to more than $1 million. Potentially the Jackpot could become the largest promotional poker jackpot in the casino entertainment industry.
This multi-casino promotion offers poker players of all skill levels an opportunity to play for a chance at life-changing money. Check out the details at any Caesars Entertainment poker room.
Good luck and may the “nuts” be with you!
