Schulman Gets Snapped Off

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

We admittedly missed the preflop action, and we'll blame the small electrical fire that broke out in the corner of the stage for that. Anyways, we picked up the action live as the dealer flopped {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} on board in a three-way pot. Everyone checked, and the {5-Hearts} turn drew another check from small blind Eugene Katchalov. Nick Schulman took his cue to bet 75,000 at the pot, and Daniel Negreanu called from the button. Katchalov folded to let the other two see the {8-Diamonds} river, and Negreanu called one last bet of 155,000 from Schulman.

The bettor was bluffing. He mucked, and Negreanu showed his {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades} to take the pot with a fine call. Schulman is beginning to look a bit frustrated as his stack dwindles further.

Another Schulman Slip

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Nick Schulman raised to 85,000 from the small, and Bryn Kenney called from the big. Once again, Schulman gave up control with a check on the {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop, and Kenney simply bet 103,000 to win the pot.

Schulman Gets One Back

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 65,000 under the gun, and Eugene Katchalov called from the big blind. He check-called Schulman's 85,000-chip bet on the {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts} flop, and they checked down the {2-Clubs} turn and {J-Clubs} river.

It's the first pot Schulman's won in quite some time as his {K-} {7-} was good enough to top Katchalov's {A-} {8-}.

Kenney Shoves on Negreanu

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney opened the pot to 105,000, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 245,000 total. When it came back to Kenney, he dropped the hammer and reraised all in for about 1.4 million total. Negreanu surrendered, and Kenney flashed the {2-Spades} as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Schulman Pushes Kenney

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised preflop, and Bryn Kenney was the lone caller.

Heads up, the dealer put out a {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} flop, and Schulman continued out with a bet of 130,000. Kenney promptly raised to 310,000 only to see Schulman three-bet him to 610,000 straight. That ended the hand; Kenney could go no further, and he surrendered his cards back to the dealer.

Nick Schulman Eliminated in 4th Place ($400,000)

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Schulman - 4th place
Nick Schulman - 4th place

From the button, Daniel Negreanu opened the pot to 90,000, and Nick Schulman defended his big blind.

Heads up, the flop brought {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, and Schulman checked. When Negreanu continued out with 110,000, though, Schulman check-raised to 330,000 total. Negreanu called.

The turn came the {7-Clubs}, and Schulman fired right out with 550,000 more chips. Negreanu called again, and the dangerous {3-Clubs} filled out the board on fifth street. Schulman wasn't slowing down now, and his bet of 1.07 million put him all in.

"I'll need a few minutes," Negreanu said as he leaned back in his chair to mull it over. He shot the occasional glance across the table, visibly tossing the decision back and forth in his brain. After some time, he called.

Schulman was forced to table his {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, a miss. "F***!" David Oppenheim yelled from the rail. Negreanu showed up {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, and his queen-high flush was good enough to earn him the pot and the knockout.

Schulman is out in 4th place, good for $400,000 and a long, frustrated walk.

Negreanu is now approaching 5 million chips, once again in command of this table.
