I usually relate this tale to people that want to run up and tell me they got a bad beat when they flopped a set and got beat by a flush - or something nonsensical that isn't even a bad beat. And I also tell them if they can top it, I will buy them dinner.
At the Gold Coast, years ago, on graveyard, I was in a $4-8 H game in the BB, posting $2. A player straddle the blind. I looked down to 4-4 and called $2 more. The flop was k-6-4. I bet, got called in three places.
The turn was another 4. I checked. One bet, one fold, one call, and I raised. As the bettor raised me back, he said, "Don't worry, Honey, we can still be friends in the morning!"
One fold, one call, and I raised back with, "Ge-e-e...I sure hope so!"
He put in the last raise and we got one caller all-in. The river gave me five of a kind. The first four 4's were clean, the fifth 4 put two 4 of spades on the board. No one knew it but me.
I turned to the floorman and said, "Marvin, come here."
The whole table looked at me like I'd lost my mind as I waited for Marvin. He stood behind me.
"There are three 4's on the board, right?"
Marvin, "Right!"
I turned my hand up, "Here's two more to go with those."
Huge 'ooohs' and 'aaahhhs'. Everyone got their money back. I quietly slid my chips into a rack and went home. I wasn't angry, it just took the wind out of my sails and I was done with the game. Linda R. Geenen

If the Bellagio had any class.... :twisted:
They'd have awarded you the pot and made the other players whole.
I don't recall recently seeing 5-4s; but, I know I frequently see 5-Aces. I have gotten used to it at this point. Six aces is fairly unusual though.
This has been extensively discussed on another site. The thread currently has 9209 replies. The first post was Jan, 2003. A legendary thread.
