Qinghai Pan opened to 80,000 in the cutoff and Justin Zaki three-bet jammed for around 860,000 in the small blind as Nick Schulman called in the big blind with slightly less. Pan got out of the way.

Nick Schulman: Q♥Q♦ All in
Justin Zaki: 8♥8♠

Schulman gave a stoic nod as an eight appeared in the window on the flop of 6♥10♠8♦ as the board finnished out 7♦A♦ to mark the Poker Hall of Famer's elimination on the final table bubble.
