Seven Figures for Lucky Canadian Poker Players
Details have yet to come about the bad beat jackpot, including the game stakes, payouts for both players and table share.
A photo of the board appears to show a flop of 9*♠J♣10♣* before a runout of 10*♠J♠* to for a runner-runner bad beat.
While the full hole cards are out of frame, a 7*♠* for one player and a J*♦* for the other make it clear it was seven-eight of spades versus red jacks.

Nothing New for Playground Poker Club
This isn’t the first time a massive bad beat jackpot has hit at Playground Poker Club. In fact, the Canadian poker club set the bad beat jackpot record last August in a $1/$2 no-limit Hold’em game that paid out CAD $2,590,185 (approximately $1.9 million USD).
That particular jackpot left Hoan Truong taking home CAD $984,270 and Marc Andre Ouellon winning CAD $492,135.
In 2022, the previous largest bad beat jackpot of CAD $2.2 million jackpot hit at the same location.

When and why was the double zero added to the American roulette wheel?
When and why was the double zero added to the American roulette wheel? The double zero was added to the American roulette wheel in the mid-19th century. The exact year is not clear, but it is believed to have been added around the 1860s. The reason for its addition was to increase the house edge, making the game more profitable for the casino. At the time, gambling was not regulated in the United States, and casinos were free to set their own rules and payouts.
