Schulman then limped in from the button and called when Adrian Mateos made it 350,000 from the big blind. Mateos fired out 400,000 on the K♥J♠7♣ flop. Schulman used a time bank before deciding to call. On the 3♥ turn, Mateos bet 1,650,000 into a pot of 1,600,000. That's what Schulman had behind and he called for his tournament life.
