Went from: “Hey, I think I'm gonna be the Chip leader!” to “Hey, how come my screen closed” on the turn of one stupid card.

 

I decided on a whim to play the Big $16.50 this morning on stars, which, quite frankly is way out of my BR, but just wanted to take a shot.  Quite frankly, I was killing it.  It was one of those sessions you have where you start making reads without even trying, add to that some lucky cards, and some really bad play by some opponents and suddenly you're in the top 10% of feild.  Still early on, but after Late reg ended, I was feeling great, with a good size stack.  Then, this happened:

Poker Stars $15.00+$1.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament – t200/t400 Blinds + t50 – 9 players – View hand 2277647
TournamentPokerEdge.com Hand History Converter

UTG+2: BB = 47.4, t18966
MP1: BB = 44.6, t17826
MP2: BB = 10.8, t4330
Hero (CO): BB = 51.4, t20540
BTN: BB = 14.0, t5607
SB: BB = 60.1, t24056
BB: BB = 32.8, t13122
UTG: BB = 36.0, t14406
UTG+1: BB = 12.8, t5121

Pre Flop: (t1050) Hero is CO with 5 of clubs 7 of clubs
5 folds, Hero raises to t880, 1 fold, SB calls t680, 1 fold

Flop: (t2610) 4 of spades 6 of clubs 8 of clubs (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t1200, SB calls t1200

Turn: (t5010) 7 of spades (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t3200, SB raises to t10400, Hero raises to t18410 all in, SB calls t8010

River: (t41830) 5 of diamonds (2 players – 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t41830
Hero shows 5 of clubs 7 of clubs (a straight, Four to Eight)
SB shows 9 of clubs A of clubs (a straight, Five to Nine)
SB wins t41830

 

Ug!  I know, it's not the worst bad beat in history, but it was pretty gross to me.  Packed it up, and went to bed….. gg, showers.
