Crew Cut got it all-in first and the pot was now somewhere in the vicinity of $500, pretty decent for a $6/$12 game. With no betting action left, and only the river to come, Crew Cut proudly flipped over his hand, pocket rockets, giving him aces full of kings, the minimum qualifier for Casino Arizona's bad beat jackpot."Go ahead and beat it," Crew Cut said antagonistically. "Gimme a bad beat."  A rag on the river changed nothing and all eyes turned to the old hag, now nodding her head in the affirmative. "Okey-doke," she said, and turned over her pocket kings, giving her quads, the winning hand, and the small end of the bad beat jackpot.
She didn't show her hand until the river card came, thus never sitting on the felt face up. If anything, it was the dealers fault for not maknig her declare her hand before dealing the river - but in cash games I don't think you have to flip until the river. I've heard it both ways and in tournies they just started making you show right away like maybe 6 years ago. I don't think you have to, and I know pokerstars doesn't make you until the river card.

if the cards don't hit the felt, i'd think she could just muck her hand. lots of people do this. just hold them up for the others to see and toss'm in the muck. sure, it may be far-fetched, but with all the poker out there being played, its more then plausible to see someone who was just looking to stick it to another player doing this.

Would anyone else have jumped this old Ho-bag in the parking lot............or am I the only sick censored who beats on Senior Citizens.
Word of advise..don't start. Sure it's an old lady today, a veteran tomorrow, before you know it you're hanging out at Denny's between 4:00 and 5:30 for all the early bird special seekers and trying to convince your girlfriend the jar full of hearing aid trophies by your dresser is nothing to be concerned about. Then before you know it the smell of Old Spice makes you see red and you begin plotting the death of Monty Hall......It's a path I don't recommend my friend.Be Smart...Don't Start

BS. Hand was tabled in fromt of not one but two floormen according to the story and the eye in the sky would have it as well.  A decent try at a story but the jackpot would have to be paid as the hand was properly shown down.
You are responsible for protecting your cards until the losing hand is killed, and the pot is awarded. If that hadn't happened yet, then I think it would be up to the casino/poker room. Robert's Rules leave some room for interpretation:Dead Hands2. Cards thrown into the muck may be ruled dead. However, a hand that is clearly identifiable may be retrieved at management’s discretion if doing so is in the best interest of the game. We will make an extra effort to rule a hand retrievable if it was folded as a result of false information given to the player.The Showdown2. Cards speak (cards read for themselves). The dealer assists in reading hands, but players are responsible for holding onto their cards until the winner is declared. Although verbal declarations as to the contents of a hand are not binding, deliberately miscalling a hand with the intent of causing another player to discard a winning hand is unethical and may result in forfeiture of the pot. (For more information on miscalling a hand see “Section 11 - Lowball,” Rule 15 and Rule 16.)A similar question was posed on RGP awhile back, and a floorperson posted saying in a cash game he would declare the hand hand dead, but in a tournament he would declare the hand live.That being said, I don't think you will ever get the house to pay out the bad beat jackpot if they don't have to. I'm sure they loved the old woman for doing what she did.Patrick
The house doesn't care, it makes the jackpot by collecting from the pots. At least that's how it is at every casino I've played at that has jackpots. They like paying them out, it's fun, it doesn't cost them anything and it adds to the excitement.Until I see the video from the eye in the sky for this incident though, I'm still saying b.s.
agreed
actually, a bigger jackpot attracts more players to the poker room. They do care.

I woulda called my grandma and had her take care of that.
I like to handle situations like this one myself. I wouldve filled up my right sock with some poker chips and beat her into a retirement home.

All the Arizona Highway Patrol saw was a bunch of smashed sheet metal about 40 feet above the ground in the side of a mountain at a point where the highway turned. Eventually they figured out that a man had gotten hold of a surplus jato (jet assisted takeoff) unit and attached it to his 67 Chevy Impala and .....Oh, nevermind.

Guy was obviously pissed that Old Bag stayed in the hand to draw out on him with the 4-7 unsuited. So, what is the real moral of the story? Don't play in games you where you can't handle the swings. Or, is it that all old people are evil? I would tend to agree with my second assesment. My own Grandmother is a trainwreck of a person who loves Casinos and is easily the worst person to spend any amount of time with. When I am required to spend time with said wombat I continually wish that I had wings so I could fly far, far away. She will get hers someday. :twisted:
