March madness is truly living up to its billing at Playground, as another Secondary Bad Beat Jackpot was awarded last night!
This latest jackpot was delivered thanks to a perfect runout in a limped pot on a 1/2 table. It happened shortly after 2:30am on table 2 in truly dramatic fashion. The table was playing 7-handed, and the action started with a call from the first player to act, James H. A second player called before the action was bumped up to $6, a raise that was called by all but one player at the table.

The turn brought the 
, followed by the 
on the river.
Danny quickly opened his hand to show the table his 
for a straight flush. James, in disbelief, took several seconds to table his hand, as he questioned how he managed to lose in this spot. But the wait was well worth it for everyone involved, because when he finally tabled his hand, it turned out that he was, indeed, the big winner in this situation. James was holding 
, for flopped quads, and the dream runout meant that his losing hand got him 50% of the Secondary Bad Beat Jackpot of $25,000!
James will collect $11,875, Danny’s share will be $5,937, and the other players at the table will each take $1,187.
Congratulations to all!
