Brinkenhoff Gets Schulman to Fold

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing K94.

Both Nick Schulman on the button and Kristen Foxen from under the gun called a bet of 7,000 from Michael Brinkenhoff in the cutoff.

The turn then brought the A, and after Foxen checked, Brinkenhoff bet out 30,000. Schulman called, and Foxen got out of the way.

After the 6 on the river, Brinkenhoff bet again, this time 55,000. Schulman instantly hated the bet, with an annoyed expression on his face. One he confirmed the bet, he used a time extension, before mucking his hand to give the pot to Brinkenhoff.
