Jeff Wins One

flop would see Prock check-call a bet from Shulman and then both players checked down the turn (

).
Shulman's 
was strong enough to trump the 
of Prock as he raked in the pot.

flop was dealt. Scholl opted to check-raise here and Shulman made the call. The 
turn then saw Shulman and Scholl put in enough bets to see Shulman's last chips enter the pot.
