Took me a minute but I just dug up some info on the massive bad beat jackpot that had been swelling for weeks at trump. Unlike the one at Harrahs which pools from all properties in town and pays everyone playing in any of the poker rooms at the time a small taste the Trump one pays 50% to the winner or rather loser of the hand 25% percent to the winner of the hand and splits the remaining 25% amongst the other players at the table. Here’s a slice from the casino city times about the massive hand that broke the bank:
Jay Marlapudi wins the Bad Beat Poker Jackpot at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort poker room, and took home a check for $334,070.50. He officially lost the hand to Walter Alexander Ayers Cockeysville, MD who had a Royal Flush.
Ayers took home a check 2nd Place check for $167,035.25.The seven remaining players split $167,035.25, giving each of the other players at the table $23,862.18.

Here’s a look at the winner:
The clash of monster hands greatly rewarded the winner Jayson Marlapudi with over 300k for just one hand. It was that type of reward many players had been seeking as the filled up the $1-$2 and $2-$4 tables at the Taj for weeks. Which lead to many players steering clear of the recently completed WSOP Circuit at Caesars in favor of chasing the elusive bad beat at the Taj… and with over 300k goin to the Pennsylvania player for just one hand I can’t really question their decision much.

Very enjoyed this! Well done!
Love the Bad Beats. A birdie told me that the dealer of the winning hand was tipped $1200… if that’s real… it’s crazy…
