Suck, Re-Suck and Shulman Doubles To the Lead

After Allyn Jaffrey Shulman had raised, Bob Phelps reraised to one million. Shulman moved all in for 2.53 million and Phelps went into the tank. After a minute, he made the call and the hands were tabled.

Phelps: {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Shulman: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Shulman was dominating Phelps going in and stayed in front after the {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn gave Phelps the best hand, but the {6-Clubs} on the river gave the pot right back to Shulman and she doubled up.

Shulman now has the chip lead and the approximate chip counts are below.

Dennis Phillips opened from the button for 350,000 only to have Allyn Jaffrey Shulman move all in for 1.39 million. Bob Phelps got out of the way, and after some contemplation, Phillips made the call.

Showdown
Phillips: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Shulman: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Phillips was ahead when the chips went in, and even managed to pair his aces on the {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop; however, Shulman's supporters seemed quite excited as their woman had picked up the nut-flush draw. Wouldn't you know it, the {J-Clubs} peeled off on the turn to complete the said flush and guarantee Shulman the double.

Phillips gave her a quick hug as the {K-Spades} was put out on the river. With that, Phelps became the news chip leader simply by sitting on the sidelines.

"Son of a Buck"

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Dennis Phillips on the button and he put in a raise to 350,000. Allyn Jaffrey Shulman folded from the small blind putting action on Bob Phelps in the big blind. He announced a three-bet and made it 1.16 million to go, which put Phillips in the tank.

"Son of a buck, Bob," Phillips remarked as he thought about the decision. Eventually he folded, but not before flashing the {A-Hearts}. Phelps obliged and showed his own {A-Clubs}, though it was accompanied by the {Q-Clubs}.
