What is the worst bad beat in poker history
There are two occurrences of the “worst bad beat in poker history” that come to mind. One is a 2000 Nine-player No Limit Hold’em game at the World Series of Poker Championship Event, and the other is a nail-biting hand from the 2005 WSOP main event. In both cases, one player came out on top with such an unbelievable hand they were crowned poker champions that year. In chronological order then, this entry will discuss the WSOP Main Event 2005 final hand…
Robert Varkonyi had been playing perfect poker for almost 48 hours when he found himself heads up against Greg Raymer with one card to go in an all-in preflop pot. The flop came down 5-4s-3c. Greg had bet out $11,000 into a $6000 pot and Robert had raised to $18,000, which seemed light for the all in situation. The two men went on to see the turn card (a bad card for Robert being an Ace) and with Robert’s last $141k in chips he pushed all in and Greg called with a pair of tens.
Robert Varkonyi: A 6♣ [79]
Greg Raymer: K ♠ [106]
The river came down to seal the deal, an Ace of hearts. Robert’s King high straight was now only a four-high straight as Greg Raymer had flopped a flush to win the 2005 WSOP Main Event.
