Poker Heaven has announced that one lucky online poker player, Lionel Foulquier from France, has won 210,00 Euros in the largest ever Bad Beat Jackpot.

Foulquier had only been playing online poker for about one year and had quad 8s beaten by Quad Queens on a 0.50 Euro/1 Euro No Limit Table. After finding the sign-up Bonus, huge jackpots and monthly rake races very attractive he joined Poker Heaven last summer.

The lucky winner stated that he knew that the jackpot was standing at over 600,000 Euros but did not think that he would have a chance of winning. After his quad 8s were beaten he realized that he had won over 200,000 Euros and was left speechless. He commented further that the atmosphere at the table was amazing after the players realized that they had won the Bad Beat Jackpot and he thanked all the players and the Poker Heaven staff for the good wishes and support that he received. He intends purchasing an apartment with part of his winnings and definitely intends continuing to play online poker.

Grant Williams, Head of Gaming for Poker Heaven announced that they are absolutely thrilled to have paid out their biggest ever Bad Beat Jackpot. The fact that Foulquier intends buying an apartment with his winnings proves how the promotion can have a life changing effect on any player lucky enough to win.

After the win the jackpot was immediately reset to 120,000 Euros and Poker Heaven is hoping that the next payout will be even bigger than Foulquier’s great win.
