I'll put this in here so I'm not clogging up the board with a new thread for every WSOP hand that makes me laugh... because lots of them do, and this is one.  It's from the $10K mixed-games championship that started today, coverage from PokerNews again:
 
[INDENT][B]Jan von Halle... "I'm out? How?"[/B]

2-7 Triple Draw:

After the second draw in 2-7 triple draw, Jan von Halle flipped his hand over and showed the 3-4-5-6-7. Johnny Chan saw this and bet to put von Halle all in. Von Halle was confused as he didn't realize there was another betting round. He called anyway and couldn't quite understand why the pot was shipped to the two-time Main Event champion Chan.

Von Halle must not have realized that straights count against you in 2-7 triple draw and was eliminated because of his mistake. Chan took the pot with a 8-low.

OK, deuce-seven isn't the most common game, and not everyone knows it.  But [I]surely[/I] if you're going to pay $10K to enter an event where it's played, you'd at least learn the basic rules?
 
Then there's the even funnier part: they've been rotating games every eight hands, and this one happened almost six and a half hours in.  What has this guy been doing, folding pre-draw every time deuce-seven rolls around until now? :D
