The Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh was the destination for a $1,227,765 bad beat jackpot that awarded huge money for two players. The hand created the largest bad beat jackpot in US live poker history. Everyone at the table was ecstatic with the outcome of the hand because all six players received a large payout, two of whom took home life-changing money. Flanagan rivered quad aces on a board of Ad Qs As 9d Js, but ran into the Ks 10s of Raymond Broderson, a local player, for a royal flush.

As is customary in bad beat jackpots, the player who lost the hand received the largest share of the $1,226,000 pool. Flanagan, who suffered the most thrilling bad beat of his life, was paid $490,708, or 40% of the entire jackpot. Broderson scooped a 30% share ($368,029), along with the miniscule, in comparison, pot he won with a royal flush. The remaining six players at the table were paid $61,338 each even though they had nothing to do with the outcome of the hand.
