Here's how it went:

I had just taken a suck out split pot before this hand, and was a little tilted, (I had 6 high straight against a 5 high straight, and a 6 on the river split). The next hand I'm dealt 55.

Now already this tournament I've been dealt KK, (which only took out a small stack) and TT (which I was forced to fold, quite spectacularly I might add, against QQ). All of these hands were in succession. I expected a set up with this 55, but played it anyway...

...As I said, I was slightly tilted, so made a small raise, which I normally wouldn't with a small pocket pair. I received one caller. On the flop, he checked play to me. I made a bet of 250 chips (blinds 25/50 at this point, and 375 in the pot already), which he called.

The 5 came down on the turn. I'd hit my set now, at the same time he had hit his straight flush. He checked play to me. I didn't want to push my luck seeing a full house, so I also checked.

The 6 on the river completed my boat. I put him on the ace of spades, seeing as he called my bet on the flop for something. On the river, he bets 300, I raise all-in (859 or so), and he calls.

At this point I'm expecting him to turn over the ace and for me to collect my chips. The chips start sliding the wrong way and I see it. He had the only card that I didn't put him on.

See for yourselves:

That is very unfortunate, but I doubt this happened.

Have you never had a good run of cards in live play?

I fail to see how this is a bad beat.

Look more like a race was lost.

I forgot to mention the same thing in my first post.
