This one left me numb.
Posted Mon Aug 01, 2005 10:13 am GMT by Soup_dog $30 live NL tournament w/ 40 players. 1000 chips and starting blinds are 5/10. About the 14th hand into the tournament I am on the button.
I am dealt 6 6 . 2 players limp and I limp as well giving us 5 players to see the flop with no raises.
The flop comes
10 6 10 . Wow! Full House!
SB checks. BB checks. 2 limpers check. (I don't usually like to slowplay, but this hand is so strong I really want someone to try and make a hand.) I check.
The turn is 2 . SB bets 30. BB calls. 2 limpers fold. I smooth call.
The river is 7 . SB bets 70. BB raises to 110. I raise to 300.
The SB pushes all in. BB goes in the tank but eventually folds.
I call. He flips over pocket 10s and makes me the first player knocked out of the tourny. I think this is probably one of the harshest beats I have experienced yet.
