Maybe this will make you feel better... (it wasn't me, thankfully). A little setup... this is a bad beat table, meaning if you lose with quad 8's or better and both players use both hole cards, it hits the jackpot. It was a little over $100,000 at the time and the losing hand would win around $35,000.
