It depends on the definition of a "bad beat." One has to get lucky,
at some point, in order to have one. Why not the turn?

Thanks for that, Chandler. Gosh, I wanted to puke 19 years ago, watching that now and I still want to puke. Gosh that was horrible, just horrible. Poor guy, y'gotta feel for him. Look at the expression on his face. There's no justice.
I'm not sure I can agree with the "no justice" comment on a couple levels.
First off, on that hand, he was behind on every round except the turn, so I certainly wouldn't call that a bad beat. In those cases, I don't consider it an unlucky river that causes you to lose. I consider it an unlucky turn that got your hopes up. And it should be noted that all the money went in on the flop, when he was still behind. So you can't even say that it was a REALLY unlucky turn that put him ahead and CAUSED him to lose more chips.
