Actress and poker player Jennifer Tilly took one of the tougher beats the poker world has seen in a while.
Tilly tweeted a photo Sunday afternoon that showed her losing a pot to nosebleed-stakes regular Bob Bright. Tilly’s quad 10s went up in flames against Bright’s jack-high straight flush for a pot worth at least $160,000.
“Not my day: quads vs. straight flush,” read the tweet that was accompanied by a photo.

The photo showed a board of J

. Tilly was all in for about $80,000 and showed 10

, while Bright tabled 87 and had a stack pushed forward that covered Tilly.
While the stakes were not mentioned in the social media post, it was clear just from the size of the stacks in play that it was nosebleed stakes. Bright had four, brown $25,000 denomination chips in his stack and it appeared that the yellow, $1,000 denomination chips were commonplace in the game. The game took place at the Wynn poker room in Las Vegas, where there is no bad beat jackpot.
Based on the board texture, it’s likely that all of the chips didn’t get into the middle until the river, but it’s safe to assume that money went in on earlier streets given the strength of Tilly’s hand. The photo didn’t show the chips in the pot already, so the total size of the pot remains unknown.
Despite the cooler, one commenter thought that Tilly should’ve been able to get away from middle set on the flop.
Here must've gone all in before the flop because I refuse to believe you would've called after the flop.

Not when the flop looks like that. Too many possibilities for a higher hand.

Tilly has had a successful acting career spanning several decades and was the first mainstream celebrity to win a World Series of Poker bracelet when she won the ladies championship in 2005 for $158,535. She has slightly more than $1 million in career live tournament earnings.
