The following is a hand described by TJ Cloutier in Cardplayer magazine. He has played an awful lot of poker so for him to find this unusual makes it special.
"The board came QD/10D/7D. Four players were in this pot. One player had a set of queens, the second one had a set of tens, the third man had a set of sevens, and the fourth player flopped the nut flush!
The worst player of the four had the tens and dropped out on the flop. All the rest of the money got in three ways on the flop. At the river, the board showed the Qd/10d/7d/5h/5/d. Queens full won the pot. Now, here was a scenario where you would love to have the nut flush, because your opponents basically were dead to a queen, a ten, a seven, or a running pair. If the board paired one of the flop cards, someone would make quads, but you're such a favorite with the nut flush. It the tens had stayed in the pot, he would have run second in the hand, the sevens would have run third, and the nut flush would have been fourth. What a hand!"
