The player with Aces gets knocked out a few rounds later. But this 5 outer cost him at least 30k...and maybe a shot at close to 400k. I don't even know how you continue to play poker after 11 hours of grueling poker and have one of the sickest beats...haha.

Can you guess my favorite part of your post?

The fact that you laugh after describing how grueling the play was, and how much money was at stake. LOL.

Yeah... tough break, but I'd say that a nearly 100k payday will be a decent consolation prize. I can also almost guarantee he put a bad beat on someone earlier in the tourney, when he could have been knocked out and gone home with $0.

I was watching this ayaz, as i have played and beat him before, i railed his table for 1 hour. We went from 100k to 500k chips, heres how.

Hand 1 - both all in, AKclubs vs AK spades. FLop brings 3 spades, away wins.
hand 2 - AK vs 910, flop is crap, turn is crap, river brings a 9, ayaz wins 100k
hand 3 - KQdmds vs KQ spades, flop brings 2 spades, river brings third, ayaz wins
hand 4 - AQ vs A8, river is an 8, ayaz wins


IS THIS THE LUCKYEST MOFO IN THE WORLD???????????
