You may remember Glenn Hughes from the 2004 World Series of Poker asking--no, DEMANDING--in a very loud voice for the dealer to give him a tournament-saving card. It worked at least one time that I recall, and Hughes made the final table that year, finishing 5th.

A big crowd just gathered around Hughes' table as he was all-in against Leandro Pimentel. Hughes had {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

to Pimentel's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

. "That ain't nothin'!" Hughes said. "Put a Jack up there!" And, lo and behold, the dealer put the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

on the board! Thing is, Hughes didn't tell the dealer not to put the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

out there on the river. Which is exactly what happened. And that spelled the end of Hughes' day.
