PRESS RELEASE: CarbonPoker Pays Out Two Bad Beat Jackpots in Ten Days

Posted By : CarbonPoker October 2nd, 2009

CarbonPoker awards over $760,000 to two Bad Beat Jackpot winners in less than two weeks.

Dublin, Ireland. October 2, 2009 – The CarbonPoker Bad Beat Jackpot has paid out yet again – for the second time in ten days. Lucky players have won more than $760,000 in this short period of time.

A Bad Beat Jackpot pays out when a player loses a showdown with a premium hand of Quad Sevens or better. This is the lowest qualifier in the industry and enables quite a bit of excitement on the Bad Beat Tables.

Early this morning, rangerjay1 earned $58, 456.93 as his Four Kings lost to callmeguys ($29,228.46) and his Royal Flush. These massive payouts came from a pot of $74.58. The seven remaining players at the table were also awarded $4,175.49 for being present during the momentous hand.

This came only ten days after baseball127 won $211,758.31 by losing with a straight flush.

CarbonPoker set the standard for Bad Beat Jackpots in February of 2009 as they paid out a world record setting $1.2 million. Well over $2.4 million has now been paid out.

As stated by CarbonPoker spokesman, Jay Manning: “When you think of the chances of hands like this happening so close together, it is just mind-boggling. There have been some lucky players at Carbon over the past month, and we want to see this trend continue. Anytime there is more excitement at CarbonPoker, it is great for us and our players.”

The Bad Beat Jackpot has been reseeded and continues to grow for the next winner. You can see the bonus increase in real time at CarbonPoker.com.

CarbonPoker Pays Out Bad Beat Jackpot For Second Time in a Month

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 2nd, 2009

carbonpoker-lobbyThe Bad Beat Jackpot at CarbonPoker has been one of the busiest online! Seriously, it seems like we can’t turn around without someone hitting the payout — and we couldn’t be happier.

We paid out over $167,000 to the Bad Beat Jackpot winners — oh yeah, that was on a > $75 pot. That’s some sweet action.

Last night, it was a Royal Flush (spades) beating out 4 Kings. Congrats to rangerjay1 for hitting the top prize of $58,456.93 (and losing with quad Kings), and callmeguys for his $29,228.46 take from the jackpot.

Oh yeah — and the players who were present (and wisely got out of the way of these hands) pulled in $4,175.49. As always, just sitting there and bringing in a few grand? That’s the easiest money in poker.

It’s just cool to see that the Jackpot can go off at any time. It keeps people on their toes and the Bad Beat tables busy. Remember – you can’t hit the Bad Beat Bonus without playing at a designated Bad Beat table.

Because the jackpot went off so recently, it wasn’t a massive Bad Beat Jackpot Payout, but as you can tell, these guys are all still pleased with it.

Here is a snippet of the chat, after the jackpot went off:

” Fullcasa44>sweet
allinMustbethemoney>YES !!!!!!!
Paymepal>awesome
callmeguys>gg
allinMustbethemoney>How sweet is that !
Paymepal>u guys are the best
Paymepal>lol
Fullcasa44>good job guys “

As always, the Jackpot has been reseeded and is ready for the next winner. I can only assume that it’ll go off tomorrow.

After the yump, check out the full money breakdown, pot size and hand breakdown.

Halloween Promo at CarbonPoker – All Month Long

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 1st, 2009

HalloweenOctober is here and so is another great CarbonPoker Promo.

‘CarbonPoker Halloween: Trick or Treat’, as the name suggests, offers the best tricks and treats of the season, as players work through 15 Levels of tasks to earn cash prizes.

If you played it last year, you’ll know that every CarbonPoker player is eligible and all of your progress will be automatically tracked and updated. It’s going to run from October 1 – 31, so you’ve got the entire month to build up VIP Points.

Here’s how it works:

After getting through the first task of finding a hidden pumpkin logo on one of CarbonPoker’s pages, you’re off and running – trying to accumulate as many VIP Points as you can throughout the month.

As you reach the different stages, you can go to the secure Halloween page (after you’re signed in) and decide whether to keep the Treat or risk it for more (and potentially get the Trick). Either way, you’ll get a cash prize.

Basically, you’re shooting for $2,500 in individual prizes over the month – and you’re only going to hit the top payout by risking some of it along the way.

Think of it like The Carbon Million… only spookier.

Posted By : Comb Over-Under September 23rd, 2009

computer-fireBuckle up, bloggers. Today is the day.

That’s right. I’ll be facing off in a multi table tourney against some of the biggest and baddest bloggers online. Watch for a full list of competitors and a live event chat thread later on today!

All that being said, I plan on winning.

Side bets? Side bets. First guy to get knocked out has to post unicorns on their site the next day. Thanks to PUNTE from WithLeather for taking the honors last time. I think it really spruced things up around there. There will also be a bounty on my head (not that any of these guys will be knocking me out).

Want to get in on future events? Send me your blog’s URL in the comments section or hit me up on CarbonPoker’s Twitter Account.

ATTN: Poker Bloggers. More of these tourneys are on the way, and we’re looking for Poker Blogs. Contact me for info on how to get involved.
