First thing that came to mind was the original owner renewed the domain but that was not the case. The domain is listed in BuyDomains which is saying it will soon be for sale.
Depending on the registrar, they probably used their own/partner domain clearing house and sold it off before you had a chance. A lot of registrars will use a single domain clearing house so even sites like pool.com will never have a chance. Who was the registrar?
