$8,000 BAD BEAT

Playing for a Betfair Asian Poker Tour package, I hit a streak of 4 wins in a row in NLHE thunder sixpaks.


4-a-row then.....

I called Betfair to see if Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo STTs were part of the promotion. They confirmed and so I played one, luckily getting to head-up but building a 8783 to 1217 chip advantage when:

Game #2503304083: Omaha H/L PL (500/1000) - 2006/10/01 - 17:05:59 (GMT)
Table "STT 3567577 - 1" Seat 9 is the button.
Seat 3: DaMatrix (8783 in chips)
Seat 9: Shampoo (1217 in chips)
Shampoo: posts small blind 500
DaMatrix: posts big blind 1000
----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to DaMatrix [Ts 3h Ah 2h]
Shampoo: raises to 1217 and is all-in
DaMatrix: calls 217
----- FLOP ----- [Jc Jh Th]

----- TURN ----- [Jc Jh Th][As]

----- RIVER ----- [Jc Jh Th As][9c]

----- SHOW DOWN -----
Shampoo: shows [4s 8s 6d Qc] (HI:A Straight, Queen high)
DaMatrix: shows [Ts 3h Ah 2h] (HI:Two Pairs, Aces and Jacks, Ten high)
Shampoo collects 2434 from Main pot
----- SUMMARY -----
Total pot 2434 Main pot 2434 Rake 0
Board [Jc Jh Th As 9c]
Seat 3: DaMatrix (big blind) showed [Ts 3h Ah 2h] and lost
Seat 9: Shampoo (small blind) showed [4s 8s 6d Qc] and won (2434) with HI:A Straight, Queen high

Shampoo doubles with a 3-outer then I get rags and end up losing the match! My bubble count this year has cost me over $40,000 now.
