Apparently Not That Bad

Stud:

Sometimes you play a hand and you don't want to show your cards because you don't want anyone to see how you played it. Something like that just happened with Michael DeMichele, who exchanged three-bets with Ralph Perry on third and fourth street showing {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} to Perry's {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. DeMichele's picked up a {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} on fifth and sixth street and when they finally went to showdown Perry said, "I have a pair of queens" and DeMichele showed {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for two pair, deuces and treys.

Not sure if DeMichele had the {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} in the hole to start, but afterwards he said, "That must be the most embarrassing hand I've played all tournament", and, later, "How bad do I play?". Still, he didn't refuse the chips that were pushed his way at the end of the hand.
