Just after the hand where Hampton got short, the dealer was pitching cards and Vitch tossed the in when he got a walk, saying it was marked. Seiver wanted to see because he said he was the worst at seeing marked cards. He studied the card but still couldn't discern the crease.

"I can see them right when he throws them," Vitch said. "I just shuffle them to the bottom of my pile right away."

"No wonder he always wins!" Seiver said with a laugh. "That's so scary. That's the scariest thing ever. He probably doesn't even call them all out."

"I've got to call them every now and then to keep it balanced," Vitch joked.
