The Worst Possible Hand

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ville Wahlbeck opened to 2,200, Philipp Gruissem called on the button, and Mike Watson three-bet to 10,200 from the big blind. Wahlbeck folded, Gruissem called, and the flop fell {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Watson led out for 8,000, and in a flash, the two were all in.

We were checking up on an adjacent table while it happened, so we're not sure if Gruissem raise-called or just jammed, but we do know that the hands looked like this:

Gruissem: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Watson: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Gruissem muttered something about Watson having the worst possible hand, and the {9-Spades} turned. The {6-Hearts} bricked on the river, and Watson won the pot, doubling to 115,000 chips.

Gruissem was left with just 16,000.
