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

Ted Lawson calling Freddy Deeb's river bet with nothing, thinking he had a straight he couldn't possibly have given the board, in the 2004 $5K PLO. That takes the cake for me.

Agree with this as the worst ever, but you have the details wrong.

You're right. Hadn't seen it in awhile. In fact, I think I'll go back and watch it again, and reaffirm that if Lawson can win a bracelet in PLO, I certainly can.

It makes me very sad to think I will probably never get close to winning such an event in my best game and that guy can win it when he played so badly.
On another hand he re-pot-raised when he caught the worst possible full house on the river and Deeb says he's making a crying call with a full house. When Lawson showed his hand and says "fives full of eights" it looked like he thought he expected to win. He then acted like he got coolered when Deeb shows a better (but weak) boat, eights full of fives.
Follow his chip stack when they report it. He was constantly flying from first to last to first to last.
