Could this be so, I hit River City's Bad Beat Jackpot

A little over 2 weeks ago, I wrote an article on the bad beat Jackpot at River City. Since the poker room's existence, local poker players could not solve the mystery in hitting the Bad Beat Jackpot, going strong for 1.5 years. At the time, it was the highest Jackpot of any of the 4 casinos. Personally, i was hoping it would go up to 400-500 thousand before anyone hit it for the 1st time. But, 220k was good enough Thursday night at 10pm when yours truly hit the Jackpot for 110k. This is how it went, I was dealt pocket 10's in the Big Blind as everyone limped for $3. Normally, i would raise in this situation but decided to see the flop cheaply. The whole night, I was always getting 2nd best, I would get Aces and KQ would out flop me for 2 pairs, so i was a little gun shy. There was 8 players at the table, a player was out at lunch and another re-buying, and 6 players called to see the flop. The flop was 10c,8d,7h rainbow, one diamond. I hit top set, but worried that i was 2nd best if someone was holding J9 for the straight. I checked and one of the players, Richard, bet out 15 or 20 dollars holding J7 of diamonds. Another player holding JQ called and i called hoping for the board to pair so i can hit my full house. Turn card was a 9 diamonds so the board was now 7h 8d 9d 10c, which was a scary board for me, knowing someone had made there hand. Rich hit a straight with his Jd7d, with a re-draw to the straight flush if a 10d hits. The other player in the hand hit the nut straight with JQ and I had my set, not looking good knowing i was behind. So i checked and Rich bet out $65 and the other player thought about it and decided to just call with the nut straight. This was very important because if he would have raised big to $165 or more, which most players in his situation would do, i would have folded knowing i was behind. So i called the $65 and the river came a 10d, which hit both Rich and I. I had quads and he had hit his straight flush. In my mind, i thought i had the nuts, not knowing there was a straight flush possibility. I was already counting my winnings when Rich bet $165 on the river and the other guy in the hand went in the tank with a straight knowing Rich had a Flush. He thought and thought for what seemed like 20 minutes as i waited excited to go all in and take down this massive pot. I looked at the board and then realized the straight flush possibility as the other player reluctantly folded his straight. I couldn't push my chips in the middle fast enough as i turned my cards over and said, "I hope you can beat me" half joking. Rich said, "I can" and turned over his Jd7d for a straight flush. There was a long pause as the tabled glanced at the board and our hole cards simultaneously as i shouted out, "That's the Bad Beat Jackpot! Bad Beat Bad Beat!" And then the whole table erupted as i jumped out of my chair in shock. Oh my gosh, I had just won 110k and Anna was sitting next to me with her jaws dropped not knowing if this was a dream. Anna and i planned on coming to River City for dinner and had no plans in playing poker. Anna had sat behind me as my chip stack declined as fast as the stock market the last few days. She complained that she was bad luck and had planned on leaving shortly as i thought about switching seats. I had moved once previously and the person who sat in my seat went on a rapid tear doubling up and cashing out a big winner. I wasn't going to let that happen in this seat, as I decided to stay, knowing that i was probably going to donate as i had done all night. I was right, i was 2nd best again, but this one was different. I lost my entire stack but being 2nd best was worth 110k.
