I was playing in a WSOP steps qualifier on Ultimatebet, and we were down to 3-handed. I had just lost the chip lead when I got a short-stack opponent all-in holding pocket-8's and he turned over Q-J. He spiked his J on the turn. It didn't really damage me, just dropped me below the 3rd player.
Ver next hand I got Qh-Jh on the button. The player I'd just lost to had popped 3xBB and the SB had folded. As it was the bubble (only top 2 qualify for next round) I felt I could push him off a marginal hand, so I put him all in, and he insta-called; turning up pocket-6's.
The flop was good - although I didn't hit the overcards gave me both straight and flush draws, even a gutshot straight-flush draw; and the miracle 9h landed on the turn.
I'm normally the person on the other end, all-in with a wired-pair against overcards and losing to that kind of hand.
