Bad Beat of the Centuary

Hectorjelly

Heads up at the end of the 7.5k Guaranteed on VC, its myself and a good tight player called Gary something. 1st Prize is 2.7k, 2nd is around 1.9lk. I raise preflop with 44, and he calls. When he called I put him on AK, AQ: any high pocket pair and he would of reraised. Flop comes up rag, 7, 5. He bets and I go all in. He calls with pocket 5's for a set of 5's. Turn is a 6 and river is an 8 giving me a runner runner straight!

Funnily enough I lost to a hand with one out recently heads up at the end of the same tounnament, this must be payback.

Well done Hector. Everyone needs a touch of luck to help them out from time to time. I wonder where the other guys moniter is right now?? Probably in the front garden after he lashed it through his window.

That's terrible harsh on the other guy.

It's the kind of thing you need though to win or finish runner up in a tournament (rather just place well) I've found. Particularily the massive online ones.

I think I've a pretty good record in the online MTTs but any of them I've finished 1st to 3rd in I've nearly always spiked a bad beat in my favour at some point, not always to double through but still.

Well except for one in which I won every single coin toss during the course of the tournament. Something like seven of them after I became a big stack. That was deadly.

I had that last night in a 20$ Turbo SnG on Ladbrokes. I won every all-in I was involved in bar one, even though most of them were pretty much coin tosses. Then in the heads-up my opponent dissconnected for about 3 hands which I took advantage of . Got 100$ for my efforts!

Well done Hector that's a nice win.
