Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?
[ QUOTE ]
No one has even mentioned Zilem's worst play: It's folded to Zilem in the SB, and he limps in w/ 42o; BB checks. Flop: TTx - it goes check, check. Turn: a 4 comes off - again it goes check, check. River: a 2 comes off - Zilem then CHECK-RAISES!!! He gets reraised (the other guy had T4 for the full boat), moans for a while, and finally folds. What hand could he possibly believe could call his C/R, that he could beat? [/ QUOTE ] He was bluffing with a pair no big deal.

Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?
I would like to submit Brent Carter limping in the SB with 63o HU vs Barbara Enright, then calling ~4x more than the BB when she pushes preflop.
BE has 88 BC has 63o Flop 6-3-x Bye bye barbara

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Agree with this as the worst ever, but you have the details wrong. [/ QUOTE ] You're right. Hadn't seen it in awhile. In fact, I think I'll go back and watch it again, and reaffirm that if Lawson can win a bracelet in PLO, I certainly can. [/ QUOTE ] It makes me very sad to think I will probably never get close to winning such an event in my best game and that guy can win it when he played so badly. On another hand he re-pot-raised when he caught the worst possible full house on the river and Deeb says he's making a crying call with a full house. When Lawson showed his hand and says "fives full of eights" it looked like he thought he expected to win. He then acted like he got coolered when Deeb shows a better (but weak) boat, eights full of fives. Follow his chip stack when they report it. He was constantly flying from first to last to first to last. [/ QUOTE ] I was surprised Freddy didn't reraise there, actually. I doubt Lawson would have slowplayed a bigger full house on the turn. He could have busted Lawson on that hand. At the end, when Freddy said he gave Lawson too much credit, I think he was talking specifically about this hand. But yeah, that was so funny watching it again.

Either that or he "saw" it on the flop but decided to slowplay it and then "lower the hammer" after the board paired. Mind-boggling.

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...

Re: Worst plays you\'ve seen in the history of ESPN WSOP?
oops, wrong play... mine was from a different guy folding a set of 10's... he was a no-namer i'm pretty sure...
can't remember the specifics but was at a table w/ several well knowns... holded Tens, flop comes down something like QT8 in a multi-i think like 5way pot... no major aggression shown but the guy dropped his set to a bet... got made fun of by the announcers, and then told the players at the table what he held after two players showed down a pair very vague i know
