Ridiculous beat indeed, as it is any time when your opponent gets a one-outer against a really strong hand. I got knocked out of a tourney last week when my jacks-full boat got beat on the river when some dude spiked quad 8s.
Aceman's friend's beat reminds me of an online "bad beat" video I saw on YouTube, except that I totally believe Aceman and the video is such an obvious fake that it's laughable. Here's the link for your enjoyment (or scorn, as the case may be):
