That one time you don't want to see a royal flush on the river!
Steel Wheel!

A straight flush!
Though it's actually not as good as it looks like. Both opponents made a full house to offset it, dorosh1 made better trips in the middle, and MuchSkill even made it to Fantasyland with "much skill"... if by that we mean hitting one-outers at the last moment.
Oh, yeah, and it's called Open Faced Chinese poker. I kind of suck at it.
And this, I guess, is called desperation equity, though it was only good for half a pot here:

One of the more exasperating things about Stud8 is that you cannot get a low if you hold either a full house or quads.
Especially aggro ones that don't believe[1]
In fairness, it was set over set, and opponent had the better redraw — I just happened to hit mine

When you have raised flop cbet and call on 4way pot, turn quads and guy named "NotAfraidBro" leads into you big :f_love::f_drink::f_thumbsup:
