The poker room at Detroit’s MotorCity Casino has awarded the largest bad beat jackpot in US history.

On Tuesday, MotorCity’s official Twitter feed broke the news that six players had split a record $1.68m bad beat jackpot after a set of quad-kings beat an (almost) equally impressive set of quad-threes.

The player holding those quad-threes, identified only as Scott on his giant MotorCity novelty check, collected the lion’s share ($427,452) of the jackpot, while quad-king Kenneth added $213,712 to his night’s winnings. The other four players lucky enough to be seated at the table each collected $106,856, and said a silent ‘thank you’ to the four empty seats beside them.

Phil Trofibio, MotorCity’s senior VP of casino operations, did his best Captain Obvious impression by telling MLive that “it’s not every day that a jackpot that big hits.”
