I know poker is not as big as it was about 10 years ago...but do any of you have a bad beat (or great win) story?

At an old job, co-workers and I would have a monthly game, my boss and a lot of mid and upper management and me, a direct report at the time. Not a hug buy in for them, for me at the time it was a decent one, played one table tourneys and we'll play multiple a night. First game, first hand, I get AK in the hole. Flop comes A-K-7. I bet a decent bet and get an immediate call and the other 5 fold. So now it's heads up. Next card, a dead card, can't remember what it is. River card comes, another king. So I'm sitting full house, Kings over aces. I go all in, guy calls right away. Flip my hand start going to collect my chips, he flips his hand. He had A-A in the hole. He wins with a full house Aces over kings. Had to sit and stew for an hour and half waiting for them to finish the game

I don’t have a bad beat that I can think of in a loss, but we played almost daily in high school and one friend we invited to the table lost bad so we kept inviting him back and he would continue to lose a lot of money. We would invite him and he kept coming back to the games, but then eventually that s.o.b. hung around so much he would catch the river or runner-runner so often that bad beats was renamed to “getting Chad’d.” Effin Chads, man lol. That guy lived on the river and ended up winning so often.
