Straight Flush on the Board

[user10554]

There is a standard preflop raise with one caller, and the flop comes {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. One player pushes all in, and the other calls. One player has {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

for an overpair, while the other has {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{7-Spades}

for two pair.

But the board brought the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, putting an eight-high straight flush on the board to chop the pot.

Amazingly, the players tried to prove their superiority over the hand. The player with pocket queens said that the straight flush on the board was a bad beat for him, because he was the favorite. The other player said, "Favorite? I had two pair!" "I meant I was the *preflop* favorite ..."
