Season Standings:

I threw away the BadBeat and my name is Pat

Today at Lumiere Casino, the Badbeat jackpot of $200,000 was thrown in the muck in a 1-3 NLH game.  Let me take you back to this misfortune.  Player A raises to $13, Player B re raises to $35, and Player C folds 10h8h hesitantly (my favorite hand) saying to himself, "I should play this!"  Well the flop was  QsQh7h, the turn card was a 9 of hearts giving Player C an open ended straight flush draw.  And then from out of nowhere, the river came a J of Hearts giving Player C a straight flush praying that no one had any of that.  Player B turns over 2 queens and then the uproar began.  Sorry Pat, maybe next time you'll play my favorite hand, the eggroll.
