How to make trash out of gold
My first-ever loss with quads -- and to a Royal Flush one-outer yet
Mind you, I did get a jackpot payout for the quads...

That's pretty damn sick. And he was still drawing, too...
You don't see a one-street one-outer draw materialize every day.
Oh my goodness, Vorpal! ♠_o:
I have never lost with quads so far, but lost once with a str8-flush vs royal and with full houses vs quads.

Per Primrose request copy-paste from my blog:
Had pretty absurd board run today. Defended 9s7h from BB versus BU minraise. Flop comes 4h8h2h and went checked. Turn is 5h giving me flush and I planned to check-call but it goes checked. River is 6h so board is now all heart with 48256 giving me absolute nuts. Well decided to bet pot and villain will likely call lot of hearts and maybe even in hope of split pot sometimes. For my surprise villain shoves 6x my bet. Had to use couple seconds to make sure I had nuts and not just 7 high flush or something. Went for call and thought he probably has slowplayed nut flush but he showed 3h3x and then I noticed oooooh he had straight flush also! 
Big Pots are for Big Hands
Misplayed? Maybe. Nice hand? Definitely.

Session Saver
Just for giggles, I decided to play some PLO 200 -- main reason was I needed a few more points to get a free dollar.
My overall session wasn't too bad, really, but I did get beat up a bit at PLO 10
Anyway, here's the hand...
Just casually picking up over 100 bucks while trying to grind out those last few points...
I gotta say, I like your style.
