Shulman Takes a Small Pot

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Many notables can be found over in the Pavilion room and among those are also Allyn Shulman and Gaurav Raina, who share a table with 2017 Seniors Event finalist Gina Bacon. Shulman's raise was called by Raina and they ended up checking through a board of {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. It soon became apparent why there was no further action, as Shulman tabled the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} as the winning hand.

The Colossus Champ is Here

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Roberly Felicio was a name that didn't ring too many bells a couple of weeks ago, but when his name is announced at this time of year people will know what he did.

Felicio managed to win one of the biggest tournaments on the schedule at the 2018 World Series of Poker. Not in buy-in, but in sheer field size. Felicio came out on top in a field of 13,070 entries and is now going to try to win the Main Event.

After a raise-and-take-it from early position he already won a pot.

Williams Gets the Fold and Shows The Goods

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

The board was showing {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Scott Cole checked from the small blind and Randal Gibson checked from big blind to Robert Williams in early position who bet 7,000 into a pot around 10,500.

Both of his opponents called and the {7-Spades} hit the felt on the river. The action was checked to Williams who bet 17,000 and both of his opponents thought for a moment before folding.

Williams turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for eights over sevens, "I folded ace-king for you!" said Cole as he shook his head and Williams smiled as he scooped in the hand.
