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.

3 handed PLO

BB = Deeb 830K
SB = Lawson 490K
Button = Watkinson 240K

Blinds ?

Watkinons calls with Ks Qd Th 6c
Lawson calls with 9s 8d 8s 5c
Deeb checks with Jc Jh Jd 2d

Flop = Ts 7h 4c

Check Check Check

Turn = Ts 7h 4c Td

Check, check, Deeb bets an unkonown ammout, Watkinson raises some ammount (looks big, probably pot)

Now comes the worst play in WSOP history ...

Lawson squints at the board and takes a good long look ...

Lawson : Raise. Whatever he (Watkinson) has left.
Deeb: How much are you raising? I'm still in the hand.
Lawson All right, I'll raise 100,000.

Deeb folds. Lee calls all-in. Final pot = 550K.

Lawson: I got a straight.

He lays down his cards and nobody corrects him.

River = Ts 7h 4c Td 2h

Dealer pushes the chips to Watkinson. Lawson, looking bewildered, stops the dealer and spreads out the cards.

Lawson : 7, 8, 9, Ten ...
Dealer : That's only 4 cards
Lawson : Oh, you're right. Ai, yai, yai. What am I thinking, oh my god ...
