"Where's the Bad Beat Jackpot?"

When we reached Table 16, Eric Baldwin, Jason Mercier and an unknown player were all in preflop.

"They're all a bunch of loonies," Neil Channing told us. "Make sure you write that."

The three hands were opened and looked like this:

Showdown
Baldwin: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Mercier: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The flop was huge; {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

"Where's the bad beat jackpot?" Mercier joked.

Baldwin stood up and grabbed his things as the turn and river came {10-Diamonds}, {6-Clubs} sending him to the rail. Mercier tripled-up to 13,000 with his quad kings and will have to let his Day 2, 2-7 stack blind off for a little longer.
