Razz Madness: 4-Way Capped Pot with 21 Left in WSOP - Stud Game Strategy

From deep in the $1,500 WSOP Dealer’s Choice event with just 21 players left, I review one of the biggest Razz pots I’ve ever played. I limped in with 7-6-4, faced heavy action on third street, and by fourth I had a strong board and plenty of equity.

Using ProPokerTools Odds Oracle, I compare equities across ranges and show why Scott Bohlman's aggressive fourth-street raise pushed small but real edges, even in such a high-variance spot. By fifth street, I made an 8-low in a 1.6M chip pot that would have given me the tournament chip lead—but variance had other plans.

The real lesson here isn’t just about strategy—it’s about the mental game. Going from near-lock equity to busting out shows how much volatility is built into the deep stages of mixed-game tournaments.
