Bad Beat of The Week Candidate #4 (5/20-5/26): Is This Worth the 2 SBD Weekly Prize?

The Hand

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

---

Hand Breakdown:

The Hive account@followbtcnews 5 SBD Freeroll came down to Hive account@gemini and Hive account@generausd, who were playing a very strong and tight heads-up battle. On the final hand of the tournament, Hive account@gemini and Hive account@generausd both got their chips in the middle before the flop. After the board paired twice, Hive account@gemini had only a 6.8% of winning the hand, which changed to 100% on the river as one of the three remaining nines hist the board.

Hive account@generausd lost with class, and I’m not sure I could’ve taken a bad beat that well. Congrats to both for finishing in the top two, but that’s a hell of a way to get knocked out of a tournament.

Voting Begins Sunday

Is this the Bad Beat of The Week? If you think so, vote on Sunday for “Candidate #5.”

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, ending at 5 PM Central during the 50 SBD tournament.

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.
