Tens Over Fives and Shulman Doubles

Allyn Jaffrey Shulman
Allyn Jaffrey Shulman

Play folded to Stuart Spear in the small blind and he raised to 315,000 against Allyn Jaffrey Shulman's big blind. Shulman looked at her cards and then reraised to put herself all in. At the final count, Shulman was all in for 980,000. Spear took a moment and then called.

Just over two million chips were in this pot and it was Shulman at risk. She held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against Spear's {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

The flop contained a ten as the first three community cards came {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Shulman nailed a set.

After the {7-Spades} fell on the turn, Shulman was officially in the clear. The river completed the board with the {2-Hearts} and the chips were sent her way. Shulman's cheering section erupted with cheers as she pulled in the pot and pumped her left arm in the sky.

Chips Might Start Flying Soon

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Play has come to a bit of a halt here at the final table of Event 29: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship. With the average stack being just under 1.77 million in chips and the big blind at 80,000, the average chip stack is slightly over 22 big blinds. Without play picking up soon and the level set to go up in another 40 minutes, this one could become a bit of a crapshoot.

Level: 29

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000
