I've had that exact thing happen to me, but it's not near as bad as having KK vs AA
A bit of background: The One Drop tournament is an event where the buy-in is $1 million. A certain portion of that goes to charity, but it ends up with the final winner getting more than $15 million.
At one point, the hand was AA vs AA:

Mercy.
I wonder what these guys have in their bank accounts to join a $1m tournament... that is basically close to half luck (at this level of skill).
I saw this through a stats website a couple days ago. Talk about a crazy, crazy, draw.
The guy that won that hand runs College Loan Corporation, but he won a 25k satellite tournament to get into the event, and he sold his share of the winnings after. Seems to indicate that while he is wealthy, he's not insane rich.
Saw this recently. Absolutely crazy. The kid that lost looks like he just saw a ghost and rightfully so. That one's gonna sting for a while but you've got to have a short memory.
Saw this clip a while ago. Really sucks for one side.
The poker gods spoke. Ouch

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Yeah I saw that one. I'm pretty sure he pucked in his mouth a little when he saw the last card.
