Wow...worst WSOP laydown ever.

If you watched tonight's WSOP circuit event from Lake Tahoe, you know the hand I'm talking about. The shortest stack in the hand gets a set of Tens on the turn, checks them and then fold's to a $30k bet when the pot was over $200k...even Norman Chad was saying "What the....?" There was a possible straight and a couple flush draws, but you gotta be kidding me.

The guy even turned to Phil Ivey after the hand and said, "I messed up". Ivey and David Pham thought the guy was lying to them. This might even be a worse play than the infamous "I've got a straight" from James Sousa during last years WSOP (turns out he didn't have a straight).

I was rooting for Ivey tonight but he seemed to run out of gas at the end...probably cleaning up in the cash games all week took it's toll on him, based on what they showed during the broadcast he made some relatively bad calls and seemed to want to get the tourney over with as quickly as possible.
