It was a multi-table tournament at a casino (not online) about 5 years ago. 200 entrants, top 20 got paid, and it was a $300 buy-in, so first place was a little less than $20,000. There were 21 players left spread over 3 tables, and I had an average sized stack. I was in the big blind, and there was a raise in front of me. I look down at pocket kings and decide to smooth call it. The flop came King, 7, 7. I flopped a full house. I check and the guy who had raised immediately goes all-in. I call and turn over my full-house. He has Ace-Jack. The turn is an Ace, giving him two pairs. And the river is another ace, giving him Aces full of 7's, beating my Kings full. I had him covered, but my stack was demolished. I had no choice to go all-in the next hand in the small blind, lost, and got bubbled out. If my kings had held up I would have been one of the top 3 stacks in the tournament and in the money. I’m not one to yap about bad beat stories, but since you ask….

Gal had an Ace high straight and another player had a king high heart flush. I showed 3 spades with the Ace-Deuce in the hole. I rode shotgun the whole trip and went all in on the next to final raise. I won a 5k pot one time playing 7 card stud. Gal had an Ace high straight and another player had a king high heart flush.

(first time ever) Some nutcase goes all in (I guess to bluff). Of course I call. He's holding KQ spades, the flop was Ac As 3h. He hits his runner-runner J-10s for a royal flush. The sickest:
