...needs to remember it could always be worse. Great write-up of mcmatto's moments after his brutal hand:

Link went to a dead page when i just checked, but the most brutal I saw was on TV - maybe a WPT final table - KK vs Ax

Board K7777 - in that order

Had that happen to me playing cash a few days back, pretty brutal.

I'd noted that you'd been particularly active in trying to challenge Llandlad in the whinging stakes in his thread - maybe I can understand why now!!

This link seems to work:

I think it hugely overdone but then again I'm like that :wink:

Candio is clearly the donk of the November Nine, and seems to have the masses rooting against him. Apparently he's been obnoxious too. ESPN loves a villain. Maybe he's just immature.

Anyway nside's is more brutal. Of course. But given the gravity of the situation and Affleck going from a big stack--->busto....I think ESPN will work that angle big time.

You can watch nside's on youtube, but I don't have the link. The hand takes several minutes.

Dunno. The Hall of Fame of bust hands at the Annual WSOP Main Event reads like a Hollywood script. I still think having quad aces beaten by a rivered Royal right as Ray Romano sits down at the table takes the cake.
