Worst Beat Ever in a 1/2 NL Game

Listen to this sickness (like Im talking to anyone). The Harrah's New Orleans bad beat jackpot was at $123,000. To hit it requires quads get beat and both hands hole cards have to play. The hand that gets beat gets half, the winning hand gets 25%, and the rest of the table splits the other 25%. My buddy is in a 1/2 no limit game with pocket 5s and flops quads. The other card is a jack. The turn is another jack. The table is already buzzing about the possibility. The river is a third jack. Because of the action up to that point everybody thinks they hit the jack pot. All the money is in the middle and they flip up the cards. Quad Jacks beat my buddies quad 5s. JACKPOT????????? No. The other guys kicker is a deuce. NO JACKPOT. SOOOOOO SICK. My friend woulda got $60K if the dudes kicker woulda been a 6 or higher. He went to the bathroom and hurled. Poor bastard.
