Fun with "Action Flops"

Hi 2+2ers:

Whether you believe your favorite online poker room's RNG is really random or not (and I'm not posting here to speculate on the merit of this theory), when an "Action Flop" happens the fireworks can be fun (or painful) to watch.

I thought it'd be fun to accumulate a collection of them in one place to "oooh" and "aahhh" over. Since there seem to be soooo many, please limit yourself to one monster per day and don't just post the ever present 2-outers or AA vs KK confrontations.

For example, here are the most monsterous I saw - 1 each from the last three days.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Pack K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, Pack raises, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.40 ) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, right? Maybe it's just me, but none of these seems that spectacular or "action packed".
