The second cruelest uberflush

I wrote about the cruelest uberflush in my August 15, 2015 post; here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

Uberflushes are to be expected in Omaha; that's one of the many reasons I don't play Omaha :-) In hold'em, however, uberflushes are much less likely, and consequently inflict much more anguish when they occur. The cruelest uberflush is when you've made a king high flush with king x suited, and end up losing to the ace high uberflush.

Last night, my most memorable hand was one where I suffered the second cruelest uberflush. I had a queen high flush with queen x suited, and lost to a king high. Ouch!
