not as bad as Awada's beat, but still bad. It's a $5 unlimited buy in tourny until the last 2 people. I'm heads up against an average player. I got 7-8 (suits do not matter because there was no flush draw to anyone) He holds A-7. Flop comes J-9-8. He checks and I put him all in. I have about $5 more chips then him. The turn brings a 9. The River brings a J. He wins with J-J-9-9-A. lol, I got pissed on that one. I guess it wasn't that bad though because when we got down to 3 people. I lost a huge hand and was down to 65 cents. I managed to turn the 65 cents into $25 but I lost it on that hand. Next hand I get, I get dealt a K-Q and he gets A-J. I go all in, he calls, sure enough the flop goes A-K-J and the turn is a Q and the River is a rag. This is the 5th tourny in the last 3 weeks that I have gotten second in. I just can't seem to break through!
