I finally suffered my first truly bad beat last night

[Matt Williams]

I've been playing poker for a few years but never really suffered a horrendous bad beat until last night. I was in a live tourniment w/ 20 players. It's down to 8 players and I am 2nd in chips (about 35,000), about 4 grand behind the leader. Blinds are 400/800.

I get Ace [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG and raise to 2,500. Everyone folds and chip leader calls in BB.
Flop is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
BB bets 4,000. I raise 15,000, BB goes all in I call.
We flip over our cards, he has 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Turn is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], river is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
