Schulman Makes the Right Call
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sirzat Hissou raised to 20,000 from middle position. Both Nick Schulman, on the button, and Soojo Kim, in the big blind, called.
They all checked through the 7♥5♠A♦ flop to the 5♦ on the turn. Kim bet 25,000. Schulman was the only one to make the call.
The river completed the board with the 6♣. Kim check-raised the 42,000 bet Schulman fired into the pot to 128,000. Schulman glanced at Kim and then called. Kim showed the K♣7♣ for sevens and fives, but Schulman held the A♥10♠ for the higher two pair with the aces and fives.
