The worst bad beat I have ever heard of in my life.

You don't get out enough. That's not even close to the worst beat I've seen (or even had put on me!).

Yep...not even close...this is not even as bad a beat as somthing routine like...

You hold AA

Flop is XXX

Villain holds A7

Turn and River 77

That's a perfect perfect combination and is mathematically .0444 to catch the first 7 and .023 for the second 7. This makes that a 0.001% chance....basically 999 to 1. I've had this happen multiple times, too (as is to be expected over hundruds of thousands of hands). The OP's royal draw is better than a 2% probability...a not so unordinary bad beat...it probably is dealt out many times a day in Vegas alone.

Edit: I see a post about Al Krux. Interestingly enough, he was at the table the last time this happened to me. I had AA in the BB in an NL tournament and villain raised from MP....folded to me...I smooth called....flop XXX...I check....villian moves in...I call....he flips AJ ...turn and river JJ....vomit.
