Anyone know what hand has to be beaten in order to get the jackpot?

I was just about to post about this...
- Bad beats will be paid out on real money Hold'Em games (Limits $2/$4 and $3/$6); available under the Bad Beat Jackpot Tab only.
4 or more players must be dealt into the hand.
Players sitting out do not qualify for the jackpot.
The losing hand must contain four 10’s or better to qualify.
Both hole cards must be used in the winner and the loser's hand and the hand must go to a showdown.
The hand must be raked and jackpot contribution collected from the hand to qualify for a bad beat jackpot. (No jackpot contribution will be collected during the Beta Testing period).
If there are two or more hands that qualify for the jackpot within one hand #, then the two highest hands will be considered for the jackpot, with the highest hand being the winning hand (the winner) and the second highest hand winning the bad beat (the loser of the hand).
In the event that two qualifying Jackpot hands are hit at exactly the same time, the hand starting first (based on our system clock) will be awarded the jackpot.
Players must play their hands independently and cannot tell opponents how to act or reveal their hand to other players. Violations will disqualify the hand for the Jackpot.

Thanks Fnord. I just got the same thing in an e-mail from them. It looks like the jackpot will be tough to get but I'm willing to try. I usually play 2/4 and 3/6 anyway so I'm gonna go back to party for a while and see if I can get lucky.

The odds of losing with four 10's or higher must be astronomical. Thats gonna be one lucky unlucky bastard.

Along the same lines, Ultimate Bet runs a high-hand jackpot every 90 minutes. The winner wins a slice of a pot based on the level of the table that you are playing at when you hit the high hand.
My very first night on UB months ago I got 2 straight flushes. The second one was Q-hi and was the high hand until about 15 minutes left when someone hit a royal. 
I've had one other straight flush since then but it was at Party Poker and it was J-hi.
Oh yeah, I folded a royal flush once as well. I had KTh. Flop came down rag-rag-Ah. Someone made a large bet (it was NL). I folded. Turn = Qh, river = Jh.

It looks like the PP bad beat Jackpot comes down to Quads over Quads (both players with pocket pairs, or maybe Big Slick cuts it.) I was thinking straight-flush over straight-flush was possible, but getting both hands to play both cards in that case is an amazing longshot.
Curious what the 2+2ers have to say about it. They probably have odds figured out already.
