The weirdest play award goes to…
Todd Bruson! With half an hour left to play on day 1, Todd Brunson limps in from the small blind. The Big Blind then makes it 4,000 to go. Brunson then re-raises to 25,000 and the big blind calls. Just before the flop cards are dealt the big blind player mistakes his 25,000 call for an allin and turns over his cards!!!! He is holding QQ.
The flop comes down Kclubs, 2clubs, 7spades
Brunson holds Aspades 2hearts.
His opponent is SHOWING QQ!
Despite this Brunson bets 5,800 (allin!) then flips over his As 2h showing the bottom pair bluff play. Just when you think it cannot get any more bizarre. The turn is the 6clubs and the RIVER….. is the 2diamonds.. giving Brunson trip two’s and a 65,000 pot.
Only at the WSOP eh?
