Look at the hand closer though, the A-K hit his A-K on the flop, but the villain flopped the nut straight. Crazy when you think about it, because the only cards that can help the A-K is another A or K, minus the A of hearts that is, leaving him with 3 outs (ok, maybe 9 outs if you count that the board could go runner-runner J-10 for a straight on the board, but not likely). I like to call these hands the PokerStars perfect storms. They usually happen against me, thankfully I was just an innocent spectator on this one.

You can't fault the guy with the boat, the odds of hitting that royal are very slim, even with the community cards showing. But that still hurts. That is just mean.
