I need a hero! I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!

Balls of steel, heart of a lion, mind of a lunatic.

1) Davidi Kitai

Many people consider not only this final call, but the whole play by Davidi Kitai here to be the greatest in history. The call itself is amazing, but consider that it happened in a heads up of an EPT Main Event, and it becomes absolutely fantastic. God knows how pros can pull such tricks...

2) Patrik Antonius

Patrik once again proved that he has the nerves of steel when it comes to making sick decisions. I can bet not many of you ever even considered calling an overbet on the river with Q-high!

3) Henry Tran

Sick and sicker. I don't know if there is any logical explanation at all to how the players made all their decisions in this hand. It was probably down to some sort of tilt on both sides, but nonetheless this call has to go down as one of the bravest ever witnessed at the WSOP Main Event.

4) Antonio Esfandiari

This call by Antonio Esfandiari is a symbol of true professionalism in offline poker. Just listen to the conversation and watch the body movement of the players. That's what tells are all about. Daniel Negreanu totally gave it up in the end, and the "The Magician" was quick to pick up on it. But even when you do everything right, the river can...

5) Tom Dwan

A small theatre of absurdity by Tom Dwan on High Stakes Poker. What was he thinking? Hero calling with 9-high?! Probably in some parallel universe this call could have won him the pot, but in this universe it must go down as the worst hero call ever!
