Schulman Makes Sick Call

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Nick Schulman entered heads up play against Filippo Candio down about 4-to-1 in chips, but he has just taken the chip lead after a great call on the river. We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Schulman bet out around 3,000 and Candio called. The river brought the {a-Clubs} and Candio bet out 6,400, about 2/3 of Schulman's remaining stack. Schulman thought for about a minute before flinging the chips in for the call. Candio hit the table a few times to signify good call, and flipped up {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Schulman showed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a rivered pair of aces. Schulman now has a 2-to-1 chip lead over Candio.

Eric Baldwin and David Pham are also heads up at their respective tables. Both players look to be about even with their opponents.
