Schulman Surges Ahead

Schulman is closing in on his first bracelet.
Schulman is closing in on his first bracelet.
We've finally had our first sizable pot of heads-up play. Ville Wahlbeck opened the button to 60,000, then called after Nick Schulman re-raised to 200,000. Schulman rapped pat before Wahlbeck took one card.

Once the draw was complete, Schulman led out for 260,000. Wahlbeck rubbed his forehead as he double-checked the card he received on the draw. He glanced up at Schulman briefly while absent-mindedly riffling his chips and trying to discern the correct action. After a minute he called. Showdown!

Schulman: 9-7-5-4-3
Wahlbeck: muck

It's a huge setback for Wahlbeck, knocking back almost half of his stack.
