That's not a bad beat.... THIS is a bad beat!
The Hand of the Year Between Dan Smith and Billy Jordanou
Sometimes you witness hands that are just too sick to be true. Online you might have seen it a couple of times but in a live poker tournament a hand like this hardly ever shows up. It started off pretty normal with a 2,900 chip shove from Dan Smith who was under the gun. Billy Jordanou, who was to his left, made the call after which the remaining players folded.
Dan Smith 6-6
Billy Jordanou J-J
Smith sighed and knew his chances of survival were slim. The flop brought out 5-6-6 and Smith started laughing just like the rest of the table. Then the J hit the turn and Smith said, "I would totally be awesome it if you hit the jack". And then the poker room exploded as the J hit the river. All the players watching the action went crazy and everyone ran over to the table. Smith just got knocked out in brutal fashion and people will be talking about this hand for a very long time!
