4. Worst poker play – Joseph Cheong
The player who made the worst poker play of 2010 still won over $4.1 million after his decision, which obviously is nothing to sneeze at. That doesn't change the fact that Joseph Cheong's all-in move late in the 2010 WSOP Main Event will remembered for years as one of the most questionable plays of all-time. Cheong, the chip leader when the final table became three-handed, was by far the most aggressive player left. In what would become the biggest pot in WSOP history, he traded bets with Jonathan Duhamel until he moved all-in. Duhamel snap-called and showed pocket queens, while Cheong flipped over a meager ace-seven off-suit. Duhamel's queens held up and he grabbed an overwhelming chip lead. Cheong was eliminated a few hands later. The second biggest benefactor of Cheong's was John Racener. The Florida poker pro earned more than $1.4 million just by staying away from the action. – DI
3. Worst bad beat – Matt Affleck's aces cracked
In one of the biggest pots leading up to the World Series of Poker's November Nine, Matt Affleck suffered a reversal of fortune that must still be leaving the poker pro from Washington wondering what might have been. With just 15 players remaining, Affleck got his whole stack in with pocket aces against Jonathan Duhamel jacks and needed to dodge just 10 outs. But instead of taking the chip lead and having a virtual lock on a November Nine finish, Affleck watched in horror as Duhamel hit a straight, sending Affleck to the exit. Duhamel used those chips well, parlaying his chip lead into the Main Event title and the $8.9 million first-place prize. Affleck, meanwhile, had to settle with a $500,165 cash and fame as the epitome of the agony of defeat. – AT
