Shchmelev Pays Off Judah With The Nuts
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
We caught up with Mel Judah and Vladimir Shchmelev on a board of 
. There was already more than 200,000 chips in the pot and Judah fired out a bet of 125,000 on the river after being checked to from Shchmelev.
Shchmelev thought over his decision for a bit before eventually tossing in a call. Judah turned over his 
for the nut straight and that was good enough to make Shchmelev muck his hand.
After that pot, Shchmelev has fallen into the position of the shortest stack.
