Not exactly drawing dead (turn/river 3-5) but still a brutal hand.

Cardplayer interns don't know that a straight beats a set.

MLG's river straight flush to beat a made full house was better. And the fact that the river made the other guy quads is the clincher.

Yes this hand was against Philledinguue who mades QUADS 8

Well worth quoting the man himself I think:

This is when miracle hand number 1 happened. I was at about 10k when big stack raised to 600 (blinds at 100/200). I called in position with QsJs. The flop came Ts9h8c. The preflop raiser led into me for 1000. I made it 2500, and he though for a few seconds, and then jammed. Obviously I insta-called with the nuts. Time then began to get very very slow. He said something like "uhoh" and I expected him to have something like JT or AA. Instead he turned over the very live 8h8d. To be honest, I was already slightly dissapointed by how little I was ahead, and crushed when the 9s turned. I got up to leave, already composing the title to be very dissapointed blog post in my head. Vaguely I heard my opponent say..."you have outs." And then, sure enough, on the river the magical, unbelievable, incredible 8s giving me a straight flush, and my poor opponent quads. After that my stack soared.

any hand where Toto gets knocked out is fine by me. He plays so retardedly and luckboxes more than anyone I have ever seen.
