So this guy is heads up in a NL tourny. Short-stacked at about a quarter of the tourny chips. One double and he's even though. He gets AJo and raises it up. The opponent is an texas cowboy who plays it a little loose. He calls. Flop comes AJT. Top two pair and our hero bets. The cowboy pushes over the top all-in. Easy call there.
And the cowboy flips over T2!
What happens? Turn 2. River T. Runner, runner boat.
Calls with T2? What does this guy think he's Doyle Brunson or something?
Actually he is. And that's how Doyle won the '76 world series. 
Just saw the hand history of that and had to share. Now your beats don't seem quite as bad, do they?

And in 1977 the opponent held 85 and Brunson held T2 on a T85 flop.
Turn 2 and river T.
On this one both players checked the flop though
