Are you sick and tired of being out drawn on the river? Or going in with the best hand only to find out that the worst hand seems to always win. Well today is your lucky day!

Every Time an EPC poker tournament begins, we are going to add 250 points to the Bad Beat Progressive Jackpot. This jackpot will continue to grow until someone wins or the season ends.

All you have to do to win the Jackpot is... Lose. The requirements for winning the Bad Beat are:

A full house of "Three Aces and Two Tens" or better, must lose to a better hand. Both players only have to use one of the cards in their hands. The Bad Beat Jackpot is split between the players at the table during the hand. 50% of the Bad Beat goes to the loser, 30% to the winner and 20% split between the remaining players dealt in the hand.

The points each player receives will be added to their Monthly Total Bankrolls as well as their Season Total Bankrolls, and will not be added to any Location Total Bankroll.

EPC poker would like to wish you Good... Bad Luck!

As each team member is knocked out the tournament director will record their position, each position is worth different points depending on when the player went out. Once all three team members are knocked out the tournament director will tally up the total team score. The top 3 teams with the most total points are the winners. Chips will be awarded to the Main Event tournament.

Player will form teams of two. Team members will decided which person will play first. Once all teams have decided, the tournament will begin with one partner playing and the other one watching Players will alternate each set of blinds using the same chip stack. One partner will always play even sets of blinds and the other will always play odd sets of blinds. The tournament will end when their is only one team remaining. The top two teams will receive chips into the Main Event tournament.
