novel bad beat (no content, o/t)
i was playing in a step tourney last night (that's the o/t part) with three left, top 2 get the good seat. all stacks are very close to each other. other two guys get all-in preflop with 88 against 99.
they chop.

How do you chop in an online tourney? There's no chop button. Wouldn't the best hand be awarded the pot automatically? [/ QUOTE ] the board came something like AAKKJ, so they tied.

Nothing special about that IMO. I saw worse. I saw a friend with KK go all-in after a flop of 8-8-K. Another guy followed, holding an A-K. My friend lost after the turn came 8 and the river...8!

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure he was saying that it was the most improbable beat ever, just that the mechanism was bizarre, which it was. After they both went all-in, his equity in the tournament went way up. The only way for him to lose this equity was if there was a split. The split with two middle pocket pairs is pretty bizarre; it's more probable than perfect-perfect, but it's just strange.
