A big pot between Nick Schulman, Katja Thater and Chris Amaral turned out badly for Schulman. He had the betting lead on sixth street, with a huge pile of chips already in the pot, and led out 2,400. Thater folded three open clubs, bringing action around to Amaral. He cut 2,400 chips off his stack, knocked them hard against the table and then tossed them in the pot.
At the river, the boards were:
Amaral: (X-X) / / (X)
Schulman: (X-X) / / (X)
"You need one of these?" Schulman asked Amaral, pointing at his treys. Amaral responded by betting out. Schulman squeezed each of his cards in turn and then called. Amaral turned over in the hole for aces and kings and the winning hand.
