i forget where i read this story online (it was at some seemingly legitimate site, not just a post on rgp), but i have never read anythign worse than this beat.
essentially it is a 5k buy in no limit ring game. three people in a significantly raised pot preflop. hero has AA. flop is rags, hero pushes hard, on person folds TT, the other calls with TT. technically, at this point the caller with TT is drawing dead. turn is a rag. hero pushes in, TT calls again. the dealer then begins mixing the board cards in with the muck, before dealing the river. floor is called over, and the floor rules that the river must be dealt. the river turns out to be one of the tens that was mucked postflop.
this could be an urban legend, but if this really happened, what an awful beat it was.
