Memorable hand:
Cloutier, the king of getting sucked out on at the World Series, never would have won his sixth bracelet if not for a nasty suckout of his own when play was six-handed. With a flop of 5-3-2, Cloutier moved all in with A-Q (two over cards and a straight draw, and Neal Wang, after a long deliberation, called with pocket nines. Cloutier need a four, a queen or an ace to survive. The turn was a meaningless 3. But a queen fell on the river, semi-miraculously doubling up the 65-year-old living legend.

Other noteworthy finishers were Jennifer Harman in 16th place and Isabelle Mercer in 33rd.

Running numbers:
19: Consecutive years Cloutier has cashed at the World Series
1: Players ahead of Cloutier (Greg Raymer) on the all-time WSOP money list following this win
