I was in my office, getting ready to leave for the day, when I heard "JACKPOT!" slight pause, "JACKPOT!", another slight pause, then with even more enthusiasm, "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"
The commotion is coming from table # 3, in the front of the room - the table with the big "window" rail. It is a No Limit game.
It turns out a player had just sat down with his $300 buy-in and on his first hand he gets dealt a pair of sixes.
There is considerable preflop action (I am not privy to all the information but there was four-way action preflop with about $70 each in the pot).
The flop comes down:
3 of Diamonds - 4 of Clubs - 6 of Spades
The new player has flopped three sixes but unknown to him the player to his right has flopped a straight and holds the 5 and 7 of Diamonds.
The turn is a the 4 of Diamonds! The new player now has a Full House, Sixes full of Fours! He moves all in and gets called by the player to his right who flopped a straight and has turned a Straight Flush draw!
Sure enough the river is the 6 of Diamonds! The new player is excited he has Quads, shows them and the dealer yells "Jackpot!".
The player to his right immediately shows his hand and is even more excited as he shows the 7-High Straight Flush and the dealer yells "JACKPOT!" and realizes there is now a qualifying bad beat and yells "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"
The new player received $500 for having a qualifying losing hand AND $100 for having Quads - so he got all in for $300 on his first hand, lost and still came out of the hand with $600!
The player to his right took down a monster pot of $800+, $250 for having the winning hand in a Bad Beat jackpot, and $250 for his Straight Flush!
There were six other players at the table and they each received $100 just for being there!
One new player to the game had just sat down and missed that hand, but it's a good thing for everyone else or that hand would not have gone down the way it did!
Congratulations to everyone!

It was a pretty sweet hand. I had been playing about an hour and a half at the table. The two players involved were to my immediate right. The new guy thought he had won with the quad 6s until we realized that the other guy had a straight flush. It was even better when they gave me a $100 chip just for watching.
