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

The Hand

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

Hand Breakdown: Late in the Hive account@ro-witness freeroll, Hoodish pushes all-in in the small blind with A9. Hive account@coinbelly considers his options as the short stack and then calls with the worst hand in all of poker – 27. After the flop comes 86A, Hoodish is a 94.55% favorite. Even after a 7 falls on the turn, Hoodish remains a 89% favorite. That changes as a second 7 hits on the river, giving Hive account@coinbelly trips and the unlikely win.

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 BBOTD is 2 SBD, meaning you cannot win for both submitting and being the recipient of the BBOTD. You can submit the bad beat, you would just win for being the loser of the hand.
Each “week” will run from Sunday 5 PM Central to Sunday 5 PM Central, and the winner will be announced that night. Be on the lookout for these posts each week and the final vote posts on Sunday mornings.
