Deadly flush

One of the cruelest ways to hit the rail in poker is to "get there" on the river on the final hand, only to discover you are actually nowhere :-) That's what happened to me in the second tournament I entered last night. I hit a flush on the river, but it was a deadly flush, losing to a full house made by the same river card. Had I not made my flush, I would have folded to my opponent's river bet; hence, the deadliness :-)
