Default What was this guy thinking?

Rewatching the 2002 WSOP highlights last night, I believe John Shipley calling $1
million with AJ against Robert Varkonyi is the worst ever play at the WSOP.
As for best play, I've seen a lot of great ones, including some amazing
laydowns, so I need to think some more.

Nominations?

maybe he thougth varkonyi had Q10 again?

i forget the exact nature of that hand, but it probably was a pretty weak move.

I cant remember the board either, but I do recall that Varkonyi was playing like a maniac for 3 days, very very recklessly. The fact that he gets no respect from his fellow players speaks volumes.

if varkonyi had any other results of significance, i think that he would at least have a modicum of respect in th epoker community. unlike moneymaker, who has clearly shown skill in other tournaments, i cant think of another time that varkonyi has done something of importance.
