Wass Poker US Friendly Online Poker Room Now Offering Bad Beat Jackpots

Wass Poker

WassPoker.com - an online poker room offering a 100 percent signup bonus up to $500 cash - is now featuring a "bad beat jackpot" for its customers in a continuing effort to improve its Merge Network poker room.

The website's claim: WassPoker offers you the chance to win big if you are unlucky enough to loose with a monster hand!

Imagine...you are sitting at the table looking when you hit Quads...you can't believe your luck when your opponent pushes all in, and you call without a moments hesitation, expecting to demolish his hand and take his chips. However, he turns and shows higher quads, or even a straight or royal flush, and your massive pot is now in your opponents hand - thats if you are not out of the game!

Well now, if that were to happen to you, you could win thousands of dollars - just for loosing!

How does it work?

On specially labeled ring games, $0.50 is collected from every pot, which goes into the Bad Beat Jackpot fund. As soon as a player gets a monster hand cracked, the jackpot will be won, and every player who was active in that hand on the table will receive a portion of it! The player with the loosing hand will get the largest percentage, so if you have quad sevens of higher (using both hole cards) - just hope to get beaten!

Requirements

The loosing hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 7s, with a 2 kicker

The winning hand must be at least a Four of a Kind 8s, with a 2 kicker

Both the winning and loosing hands must include both hole cards, and in the case of Four of a Kind must include a pocket pair

At least four players must be dealt in at the start of a hand

The hand must have generated jackpot rake ($0.50)

Two or more players must be active at the end of the hand, and it must go to a showdown

WassPoker.com welcomes US players.  Australian customers prohibited.
