Steven Gedney, 52, from Dover, Del., was pretty much speechless after winning the biggest Bad Beat Jackpot in Atlantic City history at Caesars. His Wife however called it good karma, good things happening to good people.
Gedney with literally huge check!
Huge jackpot was attracting players from other casinos to play at Caesars. Because the jackpot was so large, there was a 31/2-hour wait to get a seat at a game in the poker room.
The jackpot at Caesars had risen to $553,958 and lucky loser Gedney got half of it. Previous bad beat jackpot record in Atlantic City was $361,244. Winner of the hand, Chris Dobrzanski, didn’t have to go home empty-handed, as he won 25% chunk of the jackpot, $138,489, and of course the actual pot worth of about $400. The other seven players sitting at the table received $19,784 each.
Gedney’s wife, Tabitha, said her husband’s win was “meant to be.” Gedney owns JW’s Sports Bar in Dover and the business wasn’t going so well lately.
“He was going to let some people go, but said ‘I can’t do it, it’s Christmas time. These people have families, these people have kids,’” Tabitha Gedney said about the good deeds of his husband for the Press of Atlantic City.
“It’s karma, it really is,” Tabitha Gedney added. Karma or not, Steven Gedney and his poker hand of four threes gave his family and his business much needed cash in just the right time.
