I can't believe no one has mentioned the time Danny Nguyen on the WPT called a big all in bet with only a gutshot and two undercards.

He calls the flop bet with third pair, and then folds after he hits his set. Interesting.

Edit: I almost forgot by far the worst hand of all time ever played. Michael Kinney made the worst move ever. Reraising a guy bluffing into him after he hit quads in position against the bluffer. And his face when he hits the jack is hillarious, it is so obvious. Michael raised to $60,000 with AJ and Harry called the extra $40,000 in the big blind with 86 of hearts. The flop was JJ2 and both players checked. The turn was another jack giving Michael four of a kind. Harry bet $200,000. Michael moved all-in and Harry folded. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! If you have seen this hand it is the worst played hand of all time, and the idiot shows the crowd how stupid he is by showing his cards. So dumb.

I had forgotten that.. yes that atrocious.

I don't know if it's the worst, but I am surprised no one mentioned it.

Lesandro folding TT against Ivey's 99 on a 4445 board. Ivey smooth called preflop and from what we can tell is known to be a very aggressive player. IMHO, that is a bad fold.

For what it's worth, Paul Phillips believes that ESPN changed the hole cards for this hand. It's on his blog. (Sorry, don't have a link at the moment.)

Any answer other than "Tommy Reed check-folds set of tens" is wrong. This was hands-down the worst televised play in poker history and its hard to imagine a worse play ever being intentionally made.

Jerry Buss heads up against Huck Seed. Not one hand, but the greatest example of someone being outplayed I have seen.

hmm, i just read it myself. He has valid points, I do agree Lesandro is too good to be folding TT there (as shown by his play throughout the end). Fair enough, back to to Reed then!

I'm sure you meant against Layne Flack, at the 1st WPT Invitational.
