Nother Bad, Very Bad Beat!
June 1st, 2008
Ok, this one was very painful because I made it to the last table in a $3.40 tourney on PokerStars - I had pocket 5’s and there was a couple of decent raises pre-flop and 4 of us saw the flop. The flop came Q-Q-5, I already had the full house and was planning on making a killing. The person to my right bet 5k and I raised it to 10k. There was another caller in between us. The turn was another 5 giving me four fives!!!! I checked, the person bet 5k, next player calls and then me just calling. Last card was a 10. Person to my right went all-in 12k more and I called (only had 11k left) the last person folded. The pot was huge!!! — around 70k and would have put me in the lead by about 22k…..anyways the other player had pocket queens!!! OMG, I was totally shocked!!! Now that is a very, very bad beat!!
