To take it a step further. Has anyone EVER seen ANYONE lay down trips with no obvious flush/straight on board. No one on TV has done so, except that fabricated hand on ESPN.

Yes.

On Live at the Bike, a player had 33. Another player, with AA, raised preflop to $25-35. Player with 33 calls. Flop comes 9-8-3 with two spades. Player with 33 leads out for $30, player with AA raises all-in for around $100-120. Player with 33 thinks for about 5 seconds and says "I guess you have 99" and folds his cards up as the rest of the table has a coronary. (note: this was a set and not trips, but easily the worst laydown I've ever seen)

I can top that. Live home game, generic $20 college NL . I have a decent stack of around 40 and limp with 44 in early position. Flop comes Ax4 with a flush draw. I check, gets bet behind me, raised, and I ended up getting all in against two callers. So, 120 pot. Turn is a T, check check. River is a K, one of the callers goes all in for 5 bucks more, and the other guy folds. Must have been a donk on a flush draw, whatever. I flip over my set, the other guy still in the hand flips over AK, and MHIG. The folder at the end then cries out, reaches into the muck and pulls out TT. So, to recap. He calls 40 bucks on the flop with a pair of tens with an ace showing on the flop, and then folds for 5 dollars in a huge pot with a set, saying that for whatever reason he was sure that the other guy had a higher set (why he didn't fold on the flop, I'll never know). Unfortunately, he was a friend of guy who lived in the dorm, and I haven't seen him since.
