Riverstars

Dang, I've had my fair share of bad beats and delivered them likewise on Pokerstars, but this has to be the worst:

PokerStars Game #2600894043: Tournament #12697912, Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2005/09/17 - 22:05:19 (ET)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to hubes1 [Ks As]

Friggin nice cards in the BB... someone please raise into me... preferably the small stack.

marty236: folds
mccreadj: raises 200 to 400

Bwahahaha... ignorant small stack.

'in4the$$: folds
ironman9: folds
hubes1: raises 800 to 1200

Pretty academic from here... time to put this poor boy out of his misery.

mccreadj: calls 665 and is all-in

Villain shows his Kc 8c... now all I gotta do is dodge his 8s, right? No worries.. got him dominated, up 72-27. I'll take those odds. Chip lead here I come...

*** FLOP *** [5s Qs 8s]

I was so angry for a sec when I saw his 8... until I realized I just flopped the nut flush. At this point, I'm up 98-2. Yes, 98-2. He has very very very very poor odds now. Starting to celebrate a little bit inside, but still two more cards to come...

*** TURN *** [5s Qs 8s] [8d]

That's what I *really* didn't want to see and why I was holding off on celebrating. Nevertheless, I'm still up 80-20. Lightning can't strike twice, can it?

*** RIVER *** [5s Qs 8s 8d] [5c]

The board pairs. That's usually not a good thing. In this case, a very bad thing. A ridiculously bad thing even. HE JUST RUNNER RUNNERED A FULL HOUSE TO MY NUT FLUSH.

*** SHOW DOWN ***
hubes1: shows [Ks As] (a flush, Ace high)
mccreadj: shows [Kc 8c] (a full house, Eights full of Fives)
mccreadj collected 2230 from pot

hubes1 said, "omg"
mccreadj said, "omg"

At least the poor bastard felt bad about it.

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 2230 | Rake 0
Board [5s Qs 8s 8d 5c]
Seat 3: marty236 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 5: mccreadj showed [Kc 8c] and won (2230) with a full house, Eights full of Fives
Seat 7: 'in4the$$ (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: ironman9 (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 9: hubes1 (big blind) showed [Ks As] and lost with a flush, Ace high


And so it goes...

Thank goodness I somehow still barely managed to finish in the money
