Vitch ended up with Q♣J♠10♣9♠5♠4♥4♠, while Bohlman had A♣8♣6♦5♣4♣3♣Xx for a flush to win the pot and send Vitch to the rail.

"It's all your fault," Vitch joked with Zack after the hand. "I'm going to have nightmares about Razz," Vitch added.

"I folded a jack," Bruce Walters admitted.

Razz

Christopher Vitch: XxXx/7x8x2xKx/Xx
Scott Bohlman: XxXx/6x9x10x10x/Xx
Justin Liberto: XxXx/5xJx9xKx - folded on sixth street

Scott Bohlman completed and Laurent Manderlier raised. Justin Liberto reraised and Christopher Vitch called, as did Bohlman and Manderlier.

Vitch bet on fourth street and Bohlman raised. Manderlier and Liberto called, but Vitch reraised. Bohlman reraised again, Manderlier and Liberto called, and Vitch reraised once more. All three opponents called.

"Oh baby. What a life," Vitch said as he led out on fifth. Bohlman just called this time, while Manderlier moved all in for 86,000. Liberto called and Vitch asked the floor if he could put in another raise. The tournament official told him Manderlier didn't make it enough, and Vitch and Bohlman just called.

"Whoever wins this pot is going to have a one-fifth of the chips," Manderlier said.

"Can you bring the bracelet here? Just put the bracelet in the pot," Bohlman joked. Vitch bet again on sixth and Bohlman called, while Liberto finally got out of the way.

Vitch then bet on seventh and Bohlman called. Vitch showed 6x5x4x for 7-6-5-4-2, but Manderlier turned over 7x4x3x for 7-5-4-3-A to win the massive main pot and quadruple up, while Vitch took the side pot.

"Did I win the bracelet? Just end the tournament right here," Manderlier said. Even players on other tables spent the next few minutes talking about this hand.

"That might be a record for this stage of a limit tournament. A world record, never to be duplicated," Vitch added.
