Playing in the Tulalip morning tournament there was an amazing hand. I folded 5d/6h in early position. 3 or 4 players saw the flop which was 7h/8h/9h. It was checked around. I was kicking myself for folding the open ended straight flush draw particularly when the 5h hit the turn. It was bet and called with 3 players involved. The river brought an 8 to pair the board. It was then bet, raised and called. The players hands turned over were:
Player 1: A/2 hearts for the ace high flush
Player 2: 8/8 for quad 8's
Player 3: 10h/Jh for the jack high straight flush (flopped)
Amazingly no one was knocked out (except for me if I had played...with the 2nd best straight flush). Only way it would have been more amazing would have been a full house or two also involved. I was eliminated a little later with AK suited vs AQ suited when she hit a queen. It would have need much more "fun" to have gone out on the other hand.
Played 6 hours of Omaha with no high hands and terrible luck.

The player who flopped the straight flush must have been loving it! It's bad it's not one of us more often right??
Hope you enjoy your weekend. I plan on playing at least 3 tournaments so wish me luck!
