Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?

While it's not the worst play, it's probably the worst play in the most important spot in WSOP history. 1979, Bobby Hoff and amateur play Hal Fowler are heads up. Fowler was already on the good end of a ridiculous cold deck, when in heads up play on a 3-diamond board Hoff held K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-X[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] to Folwer's A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-X[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Holding 67o, Fowler called Bobby Hoff's raise, and called his pot-sized flop bet on a 35J rainbow board. He gleefully called Bobby Hoff's all in when the 4 hit the turn, and Hoff disgustedly mucked his pocket Aces. When people talk about the worst ME champions as far as poker skill, he is often forgotten. I think he makes Robert Varkonyi look like Stu Ungar

You know Ungar also won his first bracelet by flat-calling a flop bet with just a gutshot draw, right?
