I was in a $100 buyin tourney at TonyG's site a few years ago (JUST before the evil UIGEA came about and they booted us all off!), and was DEEP into the game. It was a few players from "the bubble", so most were dragging it out and folding. I was dealt pocket aces. There was one "soft call" and the rest had folded in front of me. I was in a mid-table seat so I rasied, only 4 blinds, I didn't want to scare anyone away and it was enough to put the remaining short stacks allin. All folded except the SB, who had a big stack also, just a few more than I had. He re-raised about the same amount, I went allin, he called. 
Now to put this in perspective, I had been drinking for a few hours and had a Dirty7 sittin in front of me. The excitement of the game had me dry-mouthed, so when the cards turned over and I saw that he ALSO had pocket aces, I took a big swig of my drink while the rest of the cards were being dealt. I was resigned to the fact that it was gonna be a split pot, better than losing I guess. When I looked at the screen and saw that I LOST the hand and was out of the tourney, I sprayed the monitor with the sticky liquid with a classic spit-take of disbelief!!
LOST?? HOW??
4 Spades had been dealt, making his ace of spades the winner! :-(
Poker... it's a BITCH!!
