Can't catch a break.

Joe has been terribly unlucky so far in this World Series of Poker. He gets his chips in with hands that are better than his opponents but, the hands haven't been holding up.

For example, last trip he flopped a straight and got his chips all in against a set of jacks. Then on the river, the board paired giving the guy a full house and sending Joe to spend time with Mrs. P and I.

Yesterday he got his pair of aces in against a pair of kings. There were no draws on the board so the guy could only hit one of the two remaining kings in the deck to beat Joe. The king came on the river and Joe went to the bar for a drink.

Hopefully these "bad beats" will stop and Joe will be able to make it deep into a tournament.
