Default Greatest call you have ever seen?

I thought of this after remembering that insane call Mike Gracz made at the WSOP with A high. So what call left you in shock? How about online, in real life and on tv?

you'll see a plethora of great and poor calls online because everyone is a calling station, i don't think you can really classify anything that occurs online as amazing. live is 100x more read dependant for the greater players, so obviously the greater calls are made live.

Gracz's call was awesome.. Another one that may have been easy for a lot of you was Little Nickey's preflop laydown of QQ. One guy had JJ and the other ended up with either KK or AA.

Didn't Ted Forrest call a river bet with a pair of 2's in a stud game a couple years back at the WSOP?

He won the hand, too.
That was NASTY.
