If you have a minute, I'll tell you about an extreme bad beat I experienced recently. I know it wasn't Dylan, however I'd swear--based on the way he played his hand--this guy went to Dylan's poker school (i.e. Donkey U).
It's still early in a deepstack texas holdem poker tournament. We're paying ten handed, and everyone has approximately 100 BBs. The play has been very tight. A raise of 3 big blinds is enough to take down most of the pots before the flop, and no one has 3 bet.
In early position I pick up aces and raise to 3 BBs. It folds around to the donkey. He pops it to 6 BBs, so I 3 bet 30 BBs. He snap calls. The flop comes Q, 9, 3, rainbow. I make about a half pot size bet. He calls instantly, again. The turn is a king of spades, putting two spades on board--I have the ace of diamonds and the ace of hearts. I go all in, with just slightly more chips than me, and after going into the tank for about 10 minutes. Eventually he exclaims, "I have to call you." and calls. You'll never guess what he flips up? Two fours. I almost fell out of my chair. The flush draw wouldn't have surprised me, but even with 10 guesses I wouldn't have put him on fours. Of course, this is a bad beat story, so you have already guessed how it ends... Of course, the river was a four, sending me to the rail.
