Jett had pocket kings, Waterman had pocket 5's. The flop (3 community cards) came King Five Two, giving Jett 3 of a kind in Kings, and Waterman 3 of a kind in 5's. At that point, Jett is an overwhelming, massive favorite to win (approximately 23 to 1), because the only card left in the deck that can beat him is the last remaining 5 (the "one out" I referred to). Thus he was completely screwed when the 5 came up on the "river" (the 5 th and last community card turned up in hold 'em). Jett had Kings full of fives, but it gave Waterman four 5's. And of course, in the rounds of betting (probably right on the flop) Jett had gone "all-in" with his nearly unbeatable hand, and therefore was knocked out of the tournament (and out of a chance to win 2.5 million). A very, very "bad beat" needless to say.
