That's Armageddon

Last night, on the last hand, I was involved in the biggest pot ($261,140) I've ever been involved in. Not only that, I lost the biggest amount of play money chips ($47,700) I've ever lost on a single hand. Thus the title of this post! If you're of the proper vintage, you'll recognize it as the name of one of the spoofs in the 1977 movie "The Kentucky Fried Movie".

The pot was so massive it was roughly double the size of the previous largest pot I'd ever seen. If this had been a real money table, it would definitely have made the poker news! Four players went to showdown; three of them were all-in (including myself). I haven't crunched the numbers yet, but I think my hand was a heavy favorite to win with just the river to go. If I'd won, I would have soared back over the play million mark with ease.

I have no regrets; I'd play this hand the same way if I had it to do over. Here's how it all went down:
