From poker pro Quiet Lion's website:

You're playing a pot with me heads up in Texas Hold 'Em. The turn card has been dealt and you currently have the best hand. However, no matter what card comes on the river, you can't win. What are the two hands and what is on the board?

board:

xxyy (neither a 3, and not 4455)

me: 23
him: 22

we split on anything but the one out he has to win.

My gut says this has a quite a lot of solutions. One similar to the one proposed that comes to mind is a board reading KKQ2, Q3 for hero and Q2 for villain.

<font color="white"> 4 aces are on the board, so u have the best hand but only tie the other player, thus 'can't win' </font>
