My first real bad beat story

Last night playing in £10 Omaha MTT with 43 players.
One lad was raise raise raise and was so jammy he took a massive chip lead and was knocking everybody out. After 38 minutes there were only 13 left in and I had got my chips up to 6,000 by simply taking the raiser on twice...but then...

Game #2599579494: Omaha PL (75/150) - 2006/06/05 - 21:42:12 (UK)

fridolin: folds
Turnsta: folds
Simonc001: calls 75 ... for 75 chips, daft to fold even such a duff hand!!!
Daveracey: checks

----- FLOP ----- [8h 3s 8s] ... I flop a full house, as Patbruel did not raise preflop, I put him on slow playing a high pair, which he did in a previous hand.

Simonc001: checks
Daveracey: checks
Patbruel: bets 450 ... here we go...raises every time, cannot see me being behind.

Simonc001: is all-in 205
Returned uncalled bets 3,845 to Patbruel

Patbruel: shows [Ac Ks As Td]...Flush/Straight no good...needs the A or 8 (4 outs)
Simonc001: shows [6d 3d 3c Th]...anything else will do me (36 cards playing for me)

SimonC001: Removes top, does a Crouch style robotic dance around PC, sings a verse of ''It's coming home, Poker's coming home'', works out immediately that he has this lad bruised and battered and up against the ropes, swinging that massive right hook to the head that will finally knock him clear out of the ring...


but then the crowd go deathly silent as...


----- RIVER ----- [8h 3s 8s Qd][Ah]


----- SHOW DOWN -----
Patbruel: shows [Ac Ks As Td] (A Full House, Aces full of Eights)
Simonc001: shows [6d 3d 3c Th] (A Full House, Threes full of Eights)
Patbruel collects 12560 from Main pot

And do you know what???...I STILL LOVE POKER!!!
