After the win Charlie4125 reached out to us in our Telegram channel and was kind enough to share some insight on how it felt to be a part of this historic hand.

SwC: Can you take us through the hand and describe what you felt after the river was dealt and the hands were revealed?

Charlie4125 (Flop): I had a gutter to broadway, so I decided to bet. I was thinking of folding when aab raised me by quite a lot, but I decided to throw in the call because I wanted to see another card.

(Turn): The Ten of Spades gave me the nut straight. I jumped with joy upon seeing that turn card as the pot was already massive and I was almost guaranteed a win.

At that point, I was praying that the river does not pair the board. I was also hoping that the river does not contain a spade because I would no longer have the nuts. I believed that aab either had the Ace of Spades, or a pocket pair, or Ace-King.

(River): At first glace I was horrified upon seeing an Ace on the river as it pairs the board, but then I immediately realized that it was the Ace of Spades, which means that I had a Royal Flush! I was now guaranteed to win the pot. At this point I was just hoping that my opponent had either pocket Aces or Ace-King so that we would win the Bad Beat Jackpot.

The fact that my opponent went all-in made me excited as that’s when I knew that aab likely had Ace-King or pocket Aces. I immediately flicked in the call and BAM! There was the Bad Beat Jackpot. I couldn’t believe my eyes, we had won the Bad Beat Jackpot!

SwC: How long have you been playing on SwC Poker? How did you hear about us?

Charlie4125: I have been playing on SwC Poker for roughly two months. While I’ve played thousands of hands on SwC, I am still relatively new to SwC compared to the regulars. In fact, I am still relatively new to poker as a whole. I have not played much poker in my life, and only have around one and a half years of poker experience.

I heard about SwC through Reddit, and decided to join due to the benefits of Bitcoin along with not needing the intrusive KYC requirements that other online poker sites require.

SwC: You mentioned that you have a YouTube channel. Can you tell us a little about that?

Charlie4125: Yes, my YouTube channel is Gaming with Charlie. To be honest, I haven’t really been active on YouTube lately because I have been quite busy with college and don’t have much time to produce videos.

Back in high school, I had been very active on YouTube producing Clash Royale videos, which was a very popular game back then. I also posted a lot of humor meme videos along with animations. My YouTube channel started to die down in 2022 so I decided to start experimenting with other types of videos including tutorial videos for physics and math.

While I’ve never made any poker-related videos before, I plan to post a Poker video to YouTube later this week or next week talking about my massive winnings on SwC. With this newfound fame, I will likely continue to upload more YouTube videos.

SwC: Do you have any plans on what you will do with the money?

Charlie4125: Yes definitely! My share of the Bad Beat Jackpot was worth roughly $95,000 USD which is an enormous amount of money. 95 grand is more than enough to buy a new Tesla car. I had been dreaming of driving a Tesla for a very long time. Actually, no, I wasn’t dreaming of “driving” a Tesla, I dreamed of owning a Tesla and using its FSD-feature to drive itself. I had always wanted to own and ride a self-driving car, and thanks to the Bad Beat Jackpot, I am finally able to make this dream come true!

Besides buying a new Tesla, this money will also help me pay for college. I was already working three part-time jobs just to afford to pay for college, including one as a freelance math tutor. I also took 11 AP classes in high school to earn college credit so that I can graduate from college in 3 years instead of 4 to save money. Now, thanks to the Bad Beat Jackpot, I no longer have to worry about college tuition. This jackpot has drastically changed my life.
