Event Info
Wiedenhoeft:
Ngo:
Wiedenhoeft immediately started shaking his head. He came over to his family on the rail and said, "First final table and I screw up! I read my cards wrong. How do you make a final table at the World Series of Poker and misread your cards?"
The turn meant the only card that could help Wiedenhoeft on the river was a 9 for a chop. The river instead came and Wiedenhoeft was bounced, $52,021 richer for the experience.
Despite being beside himself for misreading his hand, Wiedenhoeft showed true grace and class and shook Ngo's hand after the river came down.
