Schulman Doubles into the Lead
Level 28
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Nick Schulman raised to 1,200,000 from the cutoff and it was folded to Bernhard Binder, who shoved from the big blind. Schulman quickly called all in for 12,675,000 total and a massive showdown was held.
Nick Schulman: A♦K♣
Bernhard Binder: K♥9♥
It was an unfortunate misstep from Binder, who had jammed his king-nine into a dominating ace-king.
The board ran out 6♠J♥3♣7♦3♠ — keeping Schulman's ace best for the double-up and sending his stack soaring to 26 million.
