Big Stax 300 (Day 1A): Bad Beat Jackpot Getting Real Good

Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Day 1A Entries: 187

One of the first thing that you will notice when pulling into the Parx East parking lot is the enormous big screen flashing promotions on the screen.  There is one promotion that you can count on seeing many times throughout the day, and that is the amount of the Bad Beat Jackpot.  The current jackpot is $216,338, and is growing by the minute.  The jackpot was hit during the last series, in the early morning hours after players had bagged chips for the day.  That gives players just another reason to stick around once the tournament day is done, because we know that poker players never sleep.

Just a reminder, if you get beat out of a $20+ pot while holding quad sizes or better, you'll take home 40% of the jackpot!  The winning hand takes 20%, with the remaining 40% divided between the other players seated at the table (and dealt into the hand in question).
