Usually, when people talk about notable folds in poker, they're referring to moments where someone has a hand so strong that folding wouldn't even enter the minds of other players, but it's second-best.
Somehow, they find the near-impossible fold and look like a genius-hero-wizard. In the span of a single week in January, the poker world bore witness to two of the most unbelievable folds in poker history – and neither was the correct play in the moment.
First, PokerStars Ambassador Sebastian Huber suffered the fate of any player who plies their trade online in high volume: an ill-timed misclick fold. Unfortunately for Huber, his mistake was live-streamed for all to see and posted to social media by PokerStars – adding to the pain.
And it was only a few days later that Daniel Petersen found himself playing the board on the river, but managed to force his opponent to fold. On the surface, nothing too extraordinary – but when Petersen's opponent revealed the cards they folded, well, let's just say you have to see it to believe it.
Huber folds super-nuts
The misclick fold is a blunder that plagues even the most-seasoned online poker players. Whether it's nerves, fatigue, or just a sweaty slip of the finger, online misclicks happen all the time and, most of the time, they result in negative outcomes. In Huber's case, it was all that and a whole lot more. As a PokerStars Ambassador, Huber streams his gameplay to an audience of loyal followers and when he misclick folded a straight flush on stream it instantly became a viral clip.
During the $11 Daily Cooldown, Huber turned a straight flush with 
on a 
board. After calling a bet from one opponent, Huber was delighted to see another opponent raise and the original bettor call. With the action on him, Huber began to monologue.
"Seven, eight, nine, ten, jack. And the same color as well, does that mean something?" Huber playfully asked as his cursor hovered over the cards. Hubert then moved the cursor down towards his action bar and clicked the fold button as if he had rags and not the super-nuts.
"Oh my god!" Huber exclaimed as he covered his mouth with his hands and took to his feet. "I didn't wanna... I folded a straight...I didn't..."
Petersen folds out quads
Later in the week, Petersen was streaming his gameplay in a $66 buy-in tournament on GGPoker when he played a limped pot in a blind versus blind spot that has to be seen to be believed. With 
on a 
flop, Petersen bet 1BB when checked to and was promptly check-raised by his opponent to 3.5BB. Petersen either had too many chips to spare or, more likely, thought his ace-high best and made the call to bring in the 
turn.
'REiDaSelva_' checked on the turn and Petersen bet 2.5BB as a "value bet against his whatever." 'REiDaSelva_' opted to check-raise a second time, making it 6.5BB and Petersen called once more. On the river 
, Petersen's opponent checked for a third time and he moved all-in for the remaining 22.5BB. After only a moment or two, 'REiDaSelva_' folded and instantly showed his cards: 
.
Yes, you read that right. 'REiDaSelva_' folded quads on the river. Incorrectly.
Have you ever seen anything like these folds?
