Schulman Gets There

Level 5

2-7 Triple Draw

Nick Schulman raised from under the gun, and Phil Galfond (cutoff) and "Crazy" Marco Johnson (big blind) called. All three players drew two, and Johnson led out. Both Galfond and Schulman called.

Johnson stood pat on the second draw, and Galfond and Schulman drew two. Johnson led, and only Schulman called.

Johnson stood pat again, Schulman drew one, and Johnson check-called a bet. Schulman spread {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} for an eight-six, Johnson mucked, and Schulman won the pot.
