"Very Unlucky Card"
Level 31
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Nick Schulman raised to 240,000 from early position with the A♣4♣ and David Coleman called from the button with the A♠J♥. Jonathan Borenstein came along from the big blind with the J♣8♣ and it was three-way action to the flop of K♥2♥2♦, which checked around.
After the dealer burned and turned the J♠, Borenstein checked despite pairing his jack, and Schulman, who had the worst hand, bet 300,000. Coleman called with the best hand, and Borenstein got out of the way.
The A♥ river was a cooler card for Schulman, who made aces and deuces with a king kicker.
“Very unlucky card,” Phil Hellmuth said in the commentary booth.
Schulman bet again but downsized to just 150,000. Coleman just called and won the 1.8 million pot.
