Twitter Freeroll and Other Weekend Events
Posted by CarbonPoker on 12th June 2009

TwitterPokerWell, before we end the week at CarbonPoker, I thought I’d let you know what’s up for the weekend.

As usual, our loyal Tweeps will be cashing in on the $250 Twitter Freeroll. If the masses come out and we get more than 1,000 entrants into this free poker tourney, we’ll double next week’s Twitter Freeroll tourney to $500. EASY!

How do you get in on the action? Follow CarbonPoker on Twitter and do these simple steps:

  1. Follow Us
  2. Confirm at our Secure Twitter Admin
  3. Receive Confirmation Code and Enter it. After that, your account will automatically be credited with Twitter Freeroll Coupons.

Don’t forget about our weekly $50,000 Guaranteed Tournament. With a bit of an overlay, I think it’s got the best value of any guaranteed tourneys online.

I’m sure you heard about the Bad Beat Jackpot going off earlier this week. We decided to push a Bad Beat deposit bonus for the weekend.

I’ll be checking in from time to time on my patio/wi-fi/cold beer office. There are perks to being a blogger, and not just sitting around in my underwear. Enjoy the weekend; GL at the tables.

Bad Beat Jackpot Hand Breakdown
Posted by CarbonPoker on 11th June 2009

carbonpokerpicOk boys and girls. Sit around and let me tell you a story about how Ween10 won $257,089.81 by losing a hand of poker.

Sounds crazy right? Well, as I told you earlier, the Bad Beat Jackpot paid out last night at CarbonPoker and Ween10 is one happy, happy loser.

Here’s the hand breakdown that lead to the mega payout:

Starting Hand #19036229-591
Ween10 is the Dealer
Shuffling Cards
sovdog Posted Small Blind $0.50
123maryc Posted Big Blind $1.00
Dealing Cards
kdawg1979 Raised to $3.00 – (Has Pocket Queens)
blugold40 Folds
TONGSI Folds
katrina24 Folds
Bucksfan1384 Folds
michael008 Folds
Ween10 Calls $4.00 — (Has Pocket 7s)
sovdog Folds
123maryc Folds
Dealing Flop (Js,7c,Qs) — (Both Now Have Trips)
kdawg1979 Bets $4.00
Ween10 Calls $4.00
Dealing Turn (Qc) — (4 of a Kind for kdawg1979)
kdawg1979 Checks — (I have a tough time checking with quads…Obvs going for a check-raise here)
Ween10 Checks
Dealing River (7s) — (4 of a kind for Ween10)
kdawg1979 All In
Ween10 All In
kdawg1979 Shows (Qd,Qh)
Ween10 Shows (7h,7d)
$19.92 Returned to kdawg1979 from Pot 2
kdawg1979 Wins $41.00 from Pot 1 with : Four of a Kind, Queens — Takes down a $60 pot!

Whoa, right? Right.

This is where it gets especially awesome:

Ween10 Wins $257,089.81 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Loser)
sovdog Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
123maryc Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
kdawg1979 Wins $128,544.90 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Winner)
blugold40 Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
TONGSI Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
katrina24 Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
Bucksfan1384 Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)
michael008 Wins $18,363.55 from the Bad Beat Jackpot (Bad Beat Other)

Personally, I could really go for $18K for just sitting there while other players get Quads. Really, I could.

Track the Bad Beat Jackpot in real time at CarbonPoker. It’s just a little guy right now, starting out at about $147K. Still decent.

As you may remember, earlier this year, the BBJ paid out at over $1.2Million — a world record. Some student in NY won about $500K.  All this cash flying around makes me wish I’d start losing the right way.
