losing with a straight flush

I played a $1.25 45 seat tourney today. I was doing quite well, always managing to stay ahead of the curve (my ‘Q’ was always >1).

Early on in the tourney, I remember calling from the small blind position when the button limped in. I had 55 and the big blind checked.
The flop came 557, I flopped quads!
(I actually tried to practice not showing it, even though this was online poker.)
I checked, and it checked all around.
The turn was a queen.
I checked, and Big Blind bet 150. We both called.
The river was a 2, and I bet 200, which was called by the big blind only. He showed a Queen for two pair.

Not a huge pot for such a huge hand.
I saw two more times someone hitting quads. The first was three nines showing on the board, with A9 in the hole, and the third was also pocket 5s hitting 55x on the flop. (She more than doubled up with her effort).
I wonder the odds of quad 5s on the flop twice in one tourney.

I got knocked out in 13th place with a monster hand.

The hand summary is as follows:

It’s not every day you can lose with a straight flush. I guess I was never getting away from that hand, although I could have folded it preflop or on the turn, if I wasn’t getting great odds to call (and didnt put him on a flush, which I had not yet done).

I was a bit concerned that nobody even seemed to notice a straight flush got beaten by another straight flush though. That sort of thing should make people sit up and notice. Well, people who play poker, at least.
