richard lee v. jamie gold was probably the worst in terms of EV of all time [/ QUOTE ] At least until next year. BTW, "single biggest -EV play in tournament poker history" is a title I wouldn't mind winning one day.

I thought that most people here don't think that Tommy Reed really had a set of 10's. I remember reading many posts claiming that the hole-cam didn't get a clear shot of his cards, and ESPN just took his word for it, based on his comment after the hand was over. [/ QUOTE ] Ummm, no. Pretty sure the majority of posters blasted him for being a super-nit. Furthermore, what in the world good would it do to lean over and lie to Ivey about folding a set on the turn? Oh, I know, metagame. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

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

Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?
You mean the hand where Tony D flops trip jacks, then lays it down? This is also notable for a hand that may have been created from two separate hands that has been discussed many times, most notably by Paul Phillips.

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