All bad beat stories must start with kings full.
Otherwise - it is just a matter of one hand outdrawing the other. This happens all of the time. Tell them that poker happens.
In the last CT tournamnet - I had trip aces on the flop.
I get a boat on the turn
I lost to quads
why? - FSU hit quads the same time I hit the boat.
This was not a bad beat - as the board had a 3-flush on the flop. There was a good chance that I was behind - of that a single club would have lost it to me. It just hapopend that the card that improved my hand to near-unbeatable, also gave the other guy the nuts.
When the hand that was ahead when the money went into the center of the table wins, there is no way that it can be called a bad beat.
