Welcome to the House of Bad Beats. It is hard to put into words the mystical powers of darkness that haunt this poker room. It is home to ruthless and bizarre spirits. A poker room known to insiders for defying all logic, denying certain probability, and ripping out the heart of the unprepared.
Many players become incredulous, overcome with indignance! They are dismayed by the brutality and cruel absurdity. But the smoothcaller and potsplasher reside. Vexed by various vulpinations, the lopelayer lurks... Who will be next?
Check out this list of 6 horrrrrible WSOP bad beats from pokertop10.com. My heart goes out to Phil Ivey, who suffers ruthless blows on two accounts. This list will also help you understand how Chris Moneymaker was able win the Main Event in 2003--ridiculuous luck.
Talk about a cold deck. First hand of the Main Event. Sammy Farha vs. Oliver Hudson
