Is there anything worse in poker than folding a big pocket pair preflop — only to see you'd have made a set on the flop?
Well, there is, actually, as David Benyamine found out on the latest No Gamble, No Future livestream.
The hand in question saw Sam 'Senor Tilt' Kiki three-bet preflop to $15,000 from the small blind with 
over an initial raise from Teun Mulder with pocket sixes. Benyamine made the call in the big blind with 
.
'ATM' then found a four-bet to $45,000 from the straddle with 
.
Kiki moved all-in for just over $200,000, and Benyamine decided to fold. 'ATM' made the call, creating a pot of $421,800.
Benyamine was already shaking his head as the cards were revealed — but the real torture was still to come.
Benyamine folds queens, takes the needles
The players decided to run it twice, and the dealer managed to find a queen on both flops. 'ATM' also made a set on the first board and held through the second to scoop.

And it got even worse for Benyamine, who then had to endure needles, first from Kiki and then from Matt Berkey.
Kiki said, "You know, Benyamine, it's good that you retired from being a professional poker player."
Berkey said, "You couldn't prise queens from my f*****g dead hands."
To be fair to Benyamine, he was up almost a quarter of a million and would have had to put that at risk in the hand that happened towards the end of the session. And he ended as the night's biggest winner with a profit of $241,100.
Kiki and Berkey were the two biggest losers, with losses of $233,800 and $307,400, respectively.
Berkey ran particularly badly throughout, including running kings into Benyamine's aces, as you can see below.
The final day of the four-day No Gamble, No Future livestream plays out tonight, and you can watch on PokerGO or for free on the PokerGO YouTube channel, starting at 4pm PT.
