The Most Incredible Poker Hand I've Ever Seen
With the amount of poker that's played, especially on TV, hands like this are statistical locks to happen eventually, but it's still amazing to see. This one comes from the PartyPoker.com European Open III.
I was in similar situation one time in a shady poker place in NYC. ($1-$2 no limit)
Early position, I have pocket QQs and raise to $25. Guy to my left raises to $75 and the small blind goes all in for like $200.
I was like "Holy $hit". The guy to my left was an extremely tight player, so i thought for a while and folded. He immediately called and flipped over AA and the small blind had KK.
But there a couple other things that set this hand apart. First, it was on TV. Second, two other players had pocket pairs (7s and 5s) 5 pocket pairs at a 6 person table. Third, a king hit the board on the flop and a queen came on the river. Incredible, I think I would cry for weeks if this ever happened to me. Unless, I won with the queens.
I saw this the other day and immediately thought it was Poop worthy.

The AA won the pot. Best lay down of my life.
