Hi there,

Was playing great poker in a tournament down to last 5 players.

Of us 5, I was 4th chip leader. I was dealt QQ and bet 600 with 300-150 blinds. Opponent called me.

The flop came down, Q79, and I hit trip Queens. He went all-in and I called. He was holding A10 and I was sure he was going down.

Amazingly, J8 followed on turn and river to give him a straight. He had 3% chance of taking the hand.

Don't mind bad beats, but when they come at a critical stage of the tournament, it really hurts.

Bye for now!
