This is all around a beautiful hand if you’re looking for examples of retarded poker. The classic line is from Hellmuth, but we’ve decided to give the poker retard award to Brett Richey. This hand at a World Series NL preliminary event shows Richey tank after Beth Shak and Phil Hellmuth both are all-in with aces. He agonizes and calls, missing Beth literally dancing up and down celebratin6g and singing “I got it, I got it!” If ever there was a time to lay down Kings preflop, this was it. Equally as funny is Phil Hellmuth bragging about how he has all the suits covered, since he shares spades and clubs with Richey… sorry Phil, but last time we checked, his black kings mean you have two less cards in the deck that you need to make your flush, which actually means you- ahhh forget it.
