I don't think this episode was ever broadcast on TV but it is on the 2004 WSOP DVD as sn extra.

The 2004 Kansas City Lowball game with Lyle Berman, Steve Z. Chau Gaing, Chris Ferguson, Barry Greenstien, and The Professor. Chau looked like he was either coming off of a 48 hour session or drunk off his @$$. There was the elimination of Lyle Berman and the table eating Lyles fries, Howard being knocked down to just 2 chips and having to play a couple more hands. It just reminded me of a home game in someones basement.

I believe the reason that the episode never aired is that the audio is messed up in the early parts and ESPN figured nobody would get low ball. I really liked the episode, and unlike the Omaha and 2k NL events on the DVD, this IS the entire episode not just a compilation of best hands.

The razz and 2-7 lowball episodes of WSOP 2004 were entertaining.

e: Only one draw in the 2-7

I'd certainly throw Adam Friedman crying in last year's WSOP after he called with the 2nd nut flush and lost to the nut flush. "I played perfect poker for 3 days".

From the same WSOP, Hellmuth's rant on the guy who called with KJ and sucked out on the river. "This guy can't even spell poker...."

"He called with a Jack high!"

(Actually, McManus called with a Queen high, which makes it twice as funny.)

There was an episode of a show (perhaps HSP, I don't remember for sure) where the announcers mocked Vince VanPatten and Mike Sexton saying "yes he does" on the WPT. The next season (2006) Vince and Mike almost stopped saying it!

[NicksDad1970]

WSOP 04 I think. Sousa, Thunder Keller, Eskimo Clark and the Knife. That one was hilarious.

Ted Lawson going (or calling) all-in while misreading his hand for a straight, and still winning the bracelet in Omaha, has to rank there somewhere.

3 - WPT Bay 101 (I think) where Danny Nguyen plays horribly and destroys everyone including Gus Hansen.

After that my roomate was convinced that suckouts are inevitable and shoving with bottom pair is always a great idea.
