Down to 5 in a tourney. I am in second chip position and on the button, so I bet $65,000 with A7o. I got called by the chip leader. I feel a bit shaky with my moderately weak ace, but after the flop comes AA7, I know I got the nuts and the smile widens. He check-raised me all in, and I couldnt get my chips in fast enough. I felt proud when the software turned up my boat, especially when I saw his pocket jacks :-) I knew he needed running jacks to administer the worst beat in the history of poker. What do you think happened? Yep....... BAM, BAM........ Turn was the Jd, river Jc... I went from taking a massive chip lead to being out in 5th place. It was, to this day, and will forever be, the worst beat I ever took. That is the one and only time I\'ve ever lost a pot when flopping a full house. Thankfully though, the guy who administered the beat down didnt win the tourney either. What are ya gonna do? Given that hand 1,000 more times, I\'d play it the same way each and every one of them :-)
