Ted Lawson : Misreading a Straight

This is easily one of the funniest hands we have ever seen, and definitely belongs on the list of the top 20 most retarded poker hands ever. Here, at a WSOP final table for $5,000 Omaha Hi-Low w/ rebuys, Ted Lawson proves to the world that he knows absolutely nothing about poker… he pushes his whole stack in on the turn and proudly displays his straight on a paired board against Lee Watkinson and Freddy Deeb. This isn’t in a homegame… this is three-handed for a World Series bracelet. Somehow, he actually comes back from this embarassing poker hand to win the thing. You don’t need luck if you’re good, and you don’t need to be good if you are Ted Lawson.
