Bad Beat of The Week #1 (5/27-6/3) Was Won By @iabuse. Congratulations! What do you think of this bad beat?

The Hand

With only three players left in the Tuesday @followbtcnews 5 SBD Freeroll, @iabuse went all-in pre-flop against @lebekons. With AA against 910 suited, @iabuse was a 78.15% favorite to win the hand. That percentage turned to zero on a brutal river where @lebekons completed a 10-high straight to knock @iabuse out of the tournament.
See the hand and original post here.

@iabuse will be sent a 2 SBD prize. @michaelluchies submitted the image, and since he can’t win the 1 SBD prize given to the person who submits the screenshot of the winning bad beat, there will be a Bad Beat Freeroll this week.

Please help support this new effort by upvoting these posts and voting for the BBOTW every Sunday!

Week 2 Starts Now!

Bad beats are already piling up for this week. Submit screenshots to @michaelluchies on Discord by Saturday evening (the earlier the better). Those selected by Michael and @bethalea will be posted and then voted on this upcoming Sunday. Good luck!

Bad Beat of The Week

The Bad Beat of The Week awards a 2 SBD prize for the loser of the hand AND 1 SBD for the person who first submits the winning screenshot and information about the hand (simply how it played out) to @Michaelluchies on Discord. If multiple people lost in the bad beat hand, the winner of the prize will be the player who started with the best hand pre-flop.
BBOTW candidates will be published during the week. The winner will be determined by a final vote (votes * payout) each Sunday, ending at 5 PM Central during the 50 SBD tournament.

How Can I Win?

Just play and be on the lookout for bad beats. The BBOTW can happen in cash games (ring games) or in tournaments. The higher the stakes, the more consideration a beat will get.

Other Rules

Maximum payout to one player for a BBOTD is 2 SBD, meaning you cannot win for both submitting and being the recipient of the BBOTD. You can submit the bad beat, you would just win for being the loser of the hand.

Each “week” will run from Sunday 5 PM Central to Sunday 5 PM Central, and the winner will be announced that night. Be on the lookout for these posts each week and the final vote posts on Sunday mornings.
