How can 4 Q's be beaten by a Q high Straight Flush?

Just askin' per today's news....wouldn't that be 5 queens?

• March 17, 2013 10:10 Mega Beat Progressive Hits: Quad queens were beaten by a queen-high straight flush in the poker room at Planet Hollywood last week to produce the first Mega Beat jackpot and make winners of all 218 players actively playing poker in participating CET Las Vegas properties. The losing hand took home $672,420, while the winner got $69,401. The other 218 players split $672,420 for $2,159 each

Not in hold em as 2 queens were probably common cards. For example, lets say one play held pocket queens while the other had a 10-J of spades as his pocket cards. So say the board comes Qs, Qd, 8s, 9s, Ah. That would give one player 4 queens, and the other player a straight flush in spades. Do you understand it now?

Doh!

Good answer - I was just testin' you

I was on the winning end of a hand like that once in a tournament. I had the 10-8 of clubs and filled in the board. I knocked two guys out, $25 bounty on each of them, and won a massive pot. Helped me to my first tournament win.

No - I wasn't testing.....I was thinking Poker and not community cards / Texas hold'em.
