Winning a piece of the $10,000 Commerce Casino Jackpot

Last week, towards the end of an especially bad session, I was actually at the table when a jackpot hand was won! The losing player had 9s 9h with the other two 9's on the board and the winning player had Kd Jd with the Qd and Td also on the board for a King high straight flush. The somewhat depressing reality was that the table share is only 20% there and at the time there were 6 of us (besides the winner and loser of the hand) at the table so we got 2000/6 ($334) each and for that we had to wait around over an hour for them to validate the jackpot. It was enough to turn a losing session into a winning one though, to the tune of about $30 – lol.
