Looks like the BBJ was hit tonite.. Details, stan?
A table at the center of the poker room erupts when the 9 of spades falls on the river creating a bad beat worth $222,355.
"I didn't even know what was happening," said Lynn Yacyk (Farmingdale, NJ), "everybody started screaming and the dealer told me I won the bad beat."
Yacyk gets her last $83 all-in with the 7 and 8 eight of spades for the low end of a flopped straight on a board of [9d Js 10s]. Roland Lucas (Beachwood, NJ) tables the king-queen of spades for the higher straight as both have straight flush draws.
When the 9 of spades hits the river Yacyk is the big loser, or in this case the big winner as she wins $88,942 (40%) for the second best hand.
"I'm so excited, Borgata is my favorite poker room!" she shrieks.
Lucas is also a winner, collecting $44,471 (20%) for providing the bad beat and the remaining 7 players in the hand split the final 40% to each win $12,706.
Two player who just sat at the table are at opposite ends of the spectrum of the celebration.
The first was playing only his second hand at the table with his last $100 and thrilled to be sharing in the bad beat. The second man opted not to post his big blind and wait and for the deal to come around the table. Because he wasn't in the hand he doesn't collect any of the payout.
The unidentified man said, "If I play, they don't win."
