Each player rivered a wheel and the pot was chopped.
Justin Cohen, who wasn't even involved in the hand walked away from the table and started saying to nobody in particular "What is this table? I can't believe this table!"

Cohen:
Schmid:
Cohen was behind on the flop with his lower pair but managed to hit two pair on the turn. As long as he could fade a king, nine or six on the river, all the chips, the bracelet and the first place money would be his.
