For all the cry babies
If you babies think you've ever had a bad beat before and cried about you don't know what a true bad beat is. I'm sure many of you know about the story I'm about to tell, but I must tell it for the Noobie's sake. I have seen this specific WPT episode many times now and it still pains me to see it.
*interuption, while looking for the exact details of the bad beat I found the second worst bad beat. Both happened at the Final table of a WPT event, and both players literally lost hundreds of thousands in prize money due to the bad beats.
*summary miracle 1 outer on the river

Back to the story.
Well after 30 minutes of searching i couldn't find it so it is going from memory. This Asian player, was consistently going all in with the worst hand and winning. He must have doubled up 4 times being at least a 2:1 underdog or more.
It gets down to three handed and again this guy goes all in calling a player who has roughly the same chip count, little more or little less, but who ever lost the hand was gonna be out in third.
Here's what happened.
:ah :kc VS :7c :ad
Flop comes :ks :3d :3s
Now at this point the nooby A7 is 251:1 to win. I remember that number
He can only win by getting running 7s, and tie by getting running 3s. Can you guess what comes next?
:7s
:7h
So if you ever complain someone hit their straight or set, remember that's 4% or more likely to happen. Also it isn't for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!

Don't know why I actually watched it, but the turn pairs the board, so this is exactly the case of somebody rivering their set. He had one out on the turn,
and gains an out when the board pairs. Still sucks with that much money on the line though
I'm all-in with AT on a T83 rainbow flop
Called by K4o
Turn a 4
River a 4
I lost thousands of pennies on this hand, the A7 story is nothing compared to this.
I mean seriously, I win that hand and Pepi's is on me!
