PokerTime Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot Nears $90,000

New Site Looks to Alleviate Some of the Pain From Suffering Bad Beats


BELIZE CITY, Belize, Dec. 21, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Ask any poker player about their most memorable hand in poker and undoubtedly they will tell you about a bad beat. They remember every card and suit on the flop, the turn and the river. Now PokerTime (www.pokertime.com), a new online card room where everyday poker players are welcome and encouraged to play, is giving players who endure heart-breaking bad beats a cause to celebrate with a new progressive Bad Beat Jackpot that's nearing $90,000, and growing.

The jackpot will continue to increase with contributions from all predetermined Bad Beat Tables. A small portion of the rake will be taken out of the pot from these tables and moved to the progressive Bad Beat Jackpot. The size of the Bad Beat Jackpot is posted on a ticker in the PokerTime lobby, where it reached $89,990 this morning.

The jackpot will multiply until someone loses with at least four-of-a-kind, eights or better. The person who gets the Bad Beat and loses will win half of the prize pool. The winner of the hand will receive a quarter of the prize pool. The remaining money will be divided equally among other players involved in the hand and used to establish the next jackpot.

Recognizing that strategies for winning are a part of everyday life, PokerTime gives poker players of all levels an online card room where they can learn from the best, play cards with their friends and hone their skills. A welcoming, sociable and friendly environment, PokerTime offers a full schedule of regular tournaments, including a $100,000 guarantee every Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EST.
