Like a scene from a casino drama on the silver screen, a poker player from Belvidere showed a solid hand Sunday night in Texas Hold 'Em at

-- only to be trumped by a fellow player.

There were few hard feelings, though, because the losing hand qualified as what is called a bad beat -- and all 10 players at the table went home with a share of the $591,388 progressive jackpot.

Sands, which marked its third year in operation in May, says it's a record bad beat jackpot at a Pennsylvania casino. The Keystone State's first casino, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, opened in 2006.

Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman Richard McGarvey said today the board does not track jackpot records at the state's 11 casinos.

The drama Sunday night unfolded at the $1-$2 No Limit Texas Hold 'Em table in the poker area at the Sands casino on

's South Side. The Sands says it offers a bad beat jackpot daily. The progressive jackpot comes into play when a losing hand is a minimum four of a kind, Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem spokeswoman Megan Verholy said.

The player from Belvidere -- the Sands is not releasing players' names -- showed four sixes. The rare hand was less rare than a nine-high straight flush of diamonds played by a Perkasie, Pa., resident, Verholy said.

The four of a kind took home the largest share of the jackpot: $295,694, Verholy said.

The straight flush paid $147,847.

Eight other players at the table took home $18,480 apiece.

The jackpot started over Sunday night at $238,620 and is up to $246,406 this afternoon, Verholy said. Sunday's bad beat win followed a
