Shulman Tumbles to 45k

World Series of Poker Europe champion Barry Shulman started the day with just over 100,000 in chips but has since dropped to ~45,000, largely due to a recent heads-up pot he played against Johan Svahn.

We caught up to the hand on the flop with the board showing {4-Clubs}

. Action was checked to Shulman in middle position and he fired a 10,000 bet. Next to act from the cutoff, Svahn kicked it up to 26,500. A third unknown player in the hand got out of their way and Shulman made the call, opting to see the turn: {Q-Clubs}

.

Here, Shulman passed the first option to Svahn who fired a big 41,300 bet. Shulman then immediately moved all in (a raise of just 12,600 as Shulman had Svahn well-covered), and a call was made prompting the following showdown:

Shulman: {Q-Hearts}

Svahn:

Shulman would need to catch a queen, a seven, or a ten to win the pot, but the river blanked ( {8-Clubs}

) and Svahn's full house held up to win the pot.

After the hand, Svahn stacked up right around 180,000 in chips to move into the top half of the leaderboard.
