[/ QUOTE ] How does that even get mentioned in a thread about the worst plays in WSOP history. Sure, the guy got overly emotional about it, but he didn't donk off most of his stack with nothing. He had the 2nd nuts in a spot that a lot of opponents would've pushed in with hands that he beat. [/ QUOTE ]Sarcasm detector down?

[ QUOTE ] Does anything beat Tommy Reed's (I think that is his name) fold of trip 10s? [/ QUOTE ] lmao, i read the title of the post, and immediately thought of this hand... if i remember correctly he told the table what he folded afterwards right? other than that nothing sticks out too much... that was just pretty f'ing awful... i think i remember seeing an older gentleman much his cards in the big blind w/ no raise, but he was old... [/ QUOTE ]Either two or three years ago didn't someone lay down trip Js against Hellmuth. Don't remember the details, but I remember thinking it was just horrible.

There was a hand I remember clearly as being played atrociously in the 2003 series where Phil Hellmuth was at the table with Sam Grizzle. Phil was heads up against an asian guy (can't recall his name but he was a pro - Tommy something maybe) and this guy makes a good hand with a fairly nothing board, Phil bluffs into him again and after agonizing he lays his hand down. There wasn't any real hand that could have had him beat - maybe a flopped FH but I can't remember. Sorry I can't recall all the details but I'm sure someone here will have a HH. I remember thinking that this guy was playing old school poker and hadn't adjusted his tournament game to the newer, aggressive style and if this same hand had hit him a year later he would have made Phil pay. [/ QUOTE ]I think this is what I was talking about.

It sounds like you are referring to the infamous Tony D hand trip jacks hand. This has been broken down by several posters (including Paul Phillips) as a hand that ESPN faked. [/ QUOTE ]well thats pretty upsetting. I had no clue about that.

Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?
One of the worst folds I've seen:
Thomas Keller, on his way to winning a 5k NLHE bracelet in 2004 or 05, is heads up against James Sousa, who was told by Johnny Moss that he is the best tourney player in the world. And he likes shrimp salad. Anyway, Sousa is raising every single hand. ESPN actually devoted a minute to showing how crazy Sousa has been the past few orbits. Keller raises in MP with QQ, 3x the BB. Sousa calls with 4-5o. 40k pot, Flop comes K-K-2 with two diamonds and Sousa immediately goes all-in for 350k. Keller folds after thinking for two minutes. At the time I couldn't see how in the world he folded there. It's not the worst play ever for sure, but due to his crazy nature I really didn't see how Keller could or would fold there. He talked about it Here, and I guess it makes a little more sense. Just something to add. It's not even close to Reed's set of Tens, or really a lot of hands shown, but it was a pretty strange fold.
