I wonder if the "person" alive with that horse in the Rainbow-6 even knows what he/she was alive for and why the bet was lost. My guess is no....though maybe by now he/she knows.

It made the sportcenter with SVP have its own special Thursday edition of Bad Beats. Usually they wait until after the weekend.

Emisael Jaramillo expected to be released from hospital this morning but according to his agent not likely to ride again for about one week recuperating from bumps and bruises incurred in frightening spill in Thursday's finale.

She knew, and took it all in stride. I read it on the internet, it must be true

Considering what was at stake, I’d rank this as far and away the worst beat that I’ve ever heard of. This isn’t spiking a 2 outer on the river to win the Main Event, this is having the race all but won and just when you’re about to scoop the jackpot with one unique ticket, the floor drops out from under you. Not sure how he/she shows up today and pushes more money through the windows. I’d still be crawled up on the couch.

I texted my brother right after the race telling him about my bad beat for a 625. pick3. When he texted me back later on and told me about the single person jackpot loss, well I didn't feel so bad anymore.

Well, given it was likely a computer group that was alive, your beat was tougher.
