euchred
Outmaneuvered and beaten
Euchred means outmaneuvered or cheated out of something, from the card game euchre where a team that fails to win three tricks after calling trump is "euchred"—defeated by their own overconfidence.
The figurative sense extends to any situation where someone gets the better of you: We got euchred on that deal.
