Big Elks Club Hand

Warning this hand is about a super bad beat I witnessed.  If you hate reading about bad beats please leave now.  Very early in the Elks Club Tournament, during the first level under the gun rasies 3x.  Late position player re-raises 3x more.   Player in the middle goes into the tank for 5 minutes and finally folds but keeps his cards in front of himself.  The under the gun player shoves.  Keep in mind we started with 10K chips so we are all 200BB deep.  Late position player snap calls for all of his chips.  What I later learned is the under the gun player has history with many players at the table.  He is a super lose lagtard.  Turns out he had the good this hand, pocket Aces.  Late position player shows pocket Kings.  The player in the middle turns over his mucked A-K suited.  He was considering calling being under the gun was such a lagtard.  To make a long story short the late position player needs the case King on the river to stay alive.  Of course the one outer comes on the river to leave pocket Aces cripled.  Live Poker is so rigged.  Thanks for reading and good luck at the table.  Tony
