Ultimate Bet Awards Bad Beat Jackpot To ‘dhc2lovr’, Again!?
  Visit Ultimate Bet |
On Tuesday, March 25, online poker player ‘dhc2lover’ claimed a whopping $171,498.31 for releasing the Bad Beat Jackpot at popular online poker room, UltimateBetPoker. Just one and a half months later, ‘dhc2lovr’ is making headlines again, having won yet another UltimateBetPoker.com Bad Beat Jackpot for nearly half a million dollars - $448,920.71 to be exact.
While it would seem a healthy round of applause and congratulations are certainly in order for this unlucky/lucky poker player, that is not the predominant attitude emanating around the virtual water cooler.
It wasn’t that long ago that Ultimate Bet’s sister-site, Absolute Poker, was involved in a tremendous scandal where it was found that high-up officials were involved in cheating. Absolute Poker’s name was dragged about the mud for quite some time, as members of the online poker room were mortified and extremely perturbed at the corruption at underhanded dealings within the online poker room. Even today, Absolute Poker - though it has time and again assured its members that the issue was resolved, resulting in the resumed security and integrity Absolute Poker once stood for - is still recovering from a great loss of loyalty and memberships.
Being so closely related in cooperation with Absolute Poker, it is now being speculated that Ultimate Bet is also involved in such underhanded dealings. The popular consensus is, ‘How could the same person win two Bad Beat Jackpots in only a month and a half? What are the odds?’
Perhaps ‘dhc2lovr’s run of bad luck truly is a lucky phenomenon, but it would seem most online poker players will not feel entirely comfortable without a thorough investigation into the matter.
