Bad Beat of The Week Candidate #1 (7/21 – 7/28): Is This Worth the 2 SBD Weekly Prize?

The Hand

Submitter: Hive account@michaelluchies
Loser(s): @Sevendst19

Hand Breakdown: With just four players left in the Hive account@curie 20 SBD Freeroll, which takes place each Friday night, Hive account@sevendst19 raises on the button. @lizGG reraises as the big blind, and Seven moves all-in. Liz quickly calls and reveals her J8 suited against Hive account@sevendst19’s pocket rockets. Liz then flops an open ended straight draw which completes on the turn, knocking Hive account@sevendst19 out of the tournament in 4th place.

Voting Begins Sunday

Is this the Bad Beat of The Week? If you think so, vote on Sunday for “Candidate #1.”

Bad Beat of The Week

The Bad Beat of The Week awards a 2 SBD prize for the loser of the hand AND 1 SBD for the person who first submits the winning screenshot and information about the hand (simply how it played out) to @Michaelluchies on Discord. If multiple people lost in the bad beat hand, the winner of the prize will be the player who started with the best hand pre-flop.
BBOTW candidates will be published during the week. The winner will be determined by a final vote (votes * payout) each Sunday.

How Can I Win?

Just play and be on the lookout for bad beats. The BBOTW can happen in cash games (ring games) or in tournaments. The higher the stakes, the more consideration a beat will get.

Other Rules

Maximum payout to one player for a BBOTW is 2 SBD, meaning you cannot win for both submitting and being the recipient of the BBOTW. You can submit the bad beat, you would just win for being the loser of the hand.
