Shane's Head & "Shalders" Above Shulman

Jeff Shulman, Rayan Nathan and JC Tran may be holding court over on table 298, but they're now all becoming very wary of TeamAPL's Shane Shalders, who's just cracked the 50K-chip mark in Amazon Blue.

We picked up the action after a raised pot between Shalders, the big blind and Shulman after the dealer had spread the flop of {10-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}; all three players checked their option before Shalders and the big blind checked again on the turn of the {8-Diamonds}.

Shulman opened for 3,500 and Shalders called, then he led out for 6,500 into Shulman on the river of the {6-Clubs}. Shulman who was only playing about 18,000 behind, went into the tank for over three minutes before another player requested time.

The floor was called over and advised Shulman that he had one minute to act. After about 20 seconds, Shulman carefully checked his cards again and then let it go. Shalders flashed {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and raked in the pot.
