October Bad Beat and Royal Flush Bonuses

Bodog Poker
Getting beat is bad. Getting a bad beat is great.


October saw 119 online poker players win bad beat and royal flush bonuses in the Bodog poker room. Bonuses ranged from $5 to $1,000 for holding royal flushes and suffering bad beats.

Among the October winners was ndrudy46 who was playing $5/$10 NL on October 28th when he woke up to Ah-Ad and flopped a set of Aces on the board of 3c-Ac-Jc. His opponent, StonecoldMS, was holding Qc-Kc and turned the Royal Flush when the 10c hit. Both players checked the turn and then the fourth Ace fell on the river and of course all of the money went in. ndrudy46's quad aces were cracked and although he lost the post he won the $1,000.

HoldTheNutz proved to be extremely lucky as he was the one player to win both a royal flush and a bad beat bonus during October. Although he wasn't able to get much action from the hand when he made his royal flush in the $1/$2 Fixed Limit game he was playing, the $50 bonus he got definitely made the moment that much sweeter.

His Bad Beat hit while on a $0.50/$1 Fixed Limit table, when he had his pocket Kh-Ks improve to a Full house, Aces over Kings, only to be beat by 4 of a kind Aces.

Head over to the Bodog online poker room for complete details on how to qualify for a Bad Beat or Royal Flush bonus.
