Everyone has one. The unhealthy beat story that they’ll’t recover from. The one they inform at each residence recreation. They had been deep in a match with a ton of cash to the winner, and somebody two-outs them, or hits runners.
Whatever the story is, Ricky Landais can one-up it.
Last evening, Landais busted in twenty second place within the $10,000 GGMillions on the 2026 World Series of Poker. But it’s unlikely the $41,942 will console him after what triggered his exit.
Landais was short-stacked and all in preflop with A♠Ok♣ towards CoinPoker ambassador Bobby James‘ A♦9♠.
The Flop Gets A Re-Do
The supplier burned a card and went to show over the primary three neighborhood playing cards. However, a fourth one appeared.
The flop was Ok♦6♦5♦4♥. When the supplier was placing the playing cards face-down on the felt earlier than the reveal, two of them caught collectively. As she turned them over, it appeared as if the playing cards got here out so as, and the flop ought to’ve been Ok♦5♦4♥.
A ground came visiting to the desk and dominated that the supplier will shuffle the 4 playing cards and randomly choose three for the flop. The fourth card can be used because the second burn card, in order that the pure flip and river are used for the hand.
Then, the Ok♦ was chosen because the burn card and the flop was 6♦5♦4♥. The unique flop would’ve sealed the pot for Landais, however now he nonetheless has to sweat working straight or flush playing cards, and a 9.
The flip was the 8♥ and the river was the 7♣. James went runner-runner for a straight and James scooped the pot. You can watch your entire hand within the clip beneath:
Taking Running Bad to the Next Level

A nasty beat-Yes
A nasty ruling-No
The outdated rule was to shuffle all 4 playing cards again in with the remainder stated the deck. The @PokerTDA added the 4 card flop rule about 14 years in the past. https://t.co/eTG8vSN8Wy

But that didn’t convey any consolation to Landais, who took to social media to voice his displeasure.
“Today’s loss just doesn’t sit right with me,” he wrote. “Imagine buying into the biggest tournament of your life, taking a shot. Grinding days and experiencing a dream. Today’s result has really left me feeling not ok with the game and WSOP.”
Landais believed it was an incorrect ruling.
“I received a ruling that was not only idiotic, but senseless,” he added.
WSOP Appears To Minimize Virality Of The Hand
It’s an unlucky scenario. Landais did nothing flawed and wasn’t even “supposed to” lose the hand. But a supplier error in an enormous spot on a reside stream value Landais tens of 1000’s of {dollars} in fairness.
It is sensible that it will be the main focus of the poker world. But regardless of posting the clip from the corporate’s personal account, it seems they blocked others from sharing the footage.
