Not the worst beat, but the way it happened was pretty crazy:So I was doing pretty well in a $150, 110 person NL tournament at River Rock casino in Vancouver, down to the last 12.Blinds are 1000-2000, 200 antes, 2 tables of 6. I've got about 14,000 in chips, 4th on my table. I'm big blind with K
J
. a guy with 15,000 raises to 4000, everyone folds to me.There's 8200 in the pot so I pay the extra 2000 to see the flopflop K
