Coming From Behind To . . . Lose

Is there any sadder situation in poker than when you get crazy lucky and suck out on someone . . . and then they re-suck out? An example:

Flaminio Malanuti has A-J. He doesn't know it but he's up against pocket Kings. The flop comes 10-K-Q. All the money goes in, big big pot, and Malanuti shows that he flopped Broadway . . . and now he has to gut out the last two cards and hope they don't pair the board.

Turn is a 3. Good . . .
River is a Queen.

And Malanuti's stack is halved to 20,000.
