Could be retarded and not even notice the flush

lol - that's possible. although if true, then that would make that HH the nastiest of all nasty river calls with bottom pair on a terrifying board against an all-in push in front of him.

I think that is exactly the case here. He was most likely so fixated on stringing his opponent along with the flopped GS draw that when the river hit and he was pushed on, he was like "jackpot baby!" and called without even noticing or considering the backdoor flush that had hit.
