worst i ever saw

i never post bad beat stories that happened to me so i am going to tell of one that i saw that made me want to cry for the poor sap that lost all his money.

in a 10/20 nl ring game in dallas...Jon has AK of spades with 3K in front of him and Bill has 5 6 of spades with a little over 5K in front of him. Jon raises to 120 from second position, there is two callers including Bill who is in the big blind.

the flop is 9 10 J of spades. Bill leads out with 400$ bet (about pot sized) and it is folded to Jon who decides to reraise 1K and Bill thinks about it for a little while and reraises all in. of course Jon calls immediatly and Bill is about as close to drawing dead as you can without actually drawing dead. Jon is a 99.9% favorite to win right now. Bill said something like "didnt think you had spades!?!?" which made me wonder why someone would raise 1K without the nuts.

the turn is one of the two cards in the deck he needs the 7 of spades. now Jon is a 98.9% favorite to win.

the river is yes you guessed it, i mean this post wouldnt be here if it werent the only card left in the deck to win him the hand...the 8 of spades.
simply amazing 9 of the 13 spades in the deck were in play!!

Jon left and we never saw him again and Bill ended up giving back most of Jon's money to the rest of us that didnt leave. i have been playing cards (all games) for a long time and still have never seen anything close to that.

hope this post makes people realize that internet probably isnt rigged and that bad beats happen in any game...oh and the names are ficticious.
