Title: Ouch!! Post by: Triple X on September 05, 2005, 08:50:51 PM Just catching up on the WPT series 3, from when i was away. Did anyone see that hand between Danny Nguyen and Shandor Szentkuti.
Danny went all in with A7s aqnd was called by Shandor with AK. Flop was K55 (none of danny's suit). So going into the turn, Shandor was a 99.5% favourite. All Danny could catch was running 5's for a split pot or running 7's for a full house. Yep you guessed it, he hit running 7's!!! It was a 274:1 shot. I have never seen a bigger suck out in percentage terms than that - has anyone else? Is it even possible? Title: Re: Ouch!!

i held QT and flop came QQT after getting it all in the turn and river 8s gave my oppo with pp8s quads a 989-1 shot Title: Re: Ouch!!

Post by: Ironside on September 05, 2005, 11:08:49 PM nope it was easy to find out as its the worst possible beat there is 989 combinations of 2 cards to come after the flop if hole cards are known
and the only possible way for me too lose that hand v 88 was if the 2 remaining 8s hit so there fore a 989-1 chance Title: Re: Ouch!! Post by: snoopy1239 on September 05, 2005, 11:10:35 PM well, at least u got a cracking bad beat story out of it. :)

Title: Re: Ouch!! Post by: snoopy1239 on September 05, 2005, 11:17:37 PM Not sure which makes me feel more sick.
Going out of a tournament from a beat like that. Or going out after making a bad call. For me, it is probably the latter, but it don't half hurt if it keeps happening. Title: Re: Ouch!!

We need more players like that... Title: Re: Ouch!! Post by: Ironside on September 06, 2005, 02:33:03 AM the problem was he was mouthing off about who good he was and how he was going to teach me how to play poker
