Schulman Chips Up Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Nick Schulman raised from under the gun and was three-bet by Anthony Zinno in the small blind. Chris Brewer came along from the big blind and Schulman also called. It was a fair fight on the first draw as they all took one each. Zinno checked, Brewer bet and received two calls.

They all drew one each once more and now it checked to Schulman, who bet and was called only by Brewer. Schulman patted while Brewer took one and the latter then check-folded to a bet. As the far shortest stack not that long ago, Schulman has suddenly reached a seven-figure mix and is right in the middle of the pack.

Mike Patrick

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Arieh raised in early position and got called by Mike Wattel on the button and Robert Campbell in the big blind.

Campbell drew two, Arieh drew one and Wattel drew one.

Campbell then checked to Arieh who bet and got called by Wattel, before Campbell came in with the check-raise, which both his opponents called.

On the second draw, Campbell and Arieh both patted, while Wattel still needed two. Campbell bet and Arieh raised, eliciting a fold from Wattel before Campbell called.

Both players remained pat, and Campbell then check-called a bet from Arieh who tossed forward a wheel to drag a huge pot.

Shortly after, Arieh watched the final out of the World Series as his team wrapped up the championship.

A pretty good few minutes for the Atlanta native.

No Miracle Comeback for Friedman

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Limit Hold'em

Adam Friedman raised from under the gun and Roman Yitzhaki three-bet on the button, Yuval Bronshtein called in the big blind and Friedman called. On the flop, Bronshtein checked and Friedman bet to receive two callers.

The turn brought another check by Bronshtein and Friedman bet with 8,000 behind. Yitzhaki raised and Bronshtein made it three bets. Friedman was pained, then laughed, and needed some time to make a decision.

"Just throw your hand in the garbage bin right there," Eli Elezra joked. Friedman then folded and Yitzhaki called. The river brought a bet of Bronshtein and a fold frm Yitzhaki.

"Show at least one," Friedman demanded from his table neighbour and Bronshtein replied "I show, no worries, don't want you to get a heart attack" before flipping over for the nuts.

"They will never hear the end of it if I come back from 8,000 chips and win this," Friedman said as he was forced all-in from the big blind in the next hand. Paul Volpe limped the button, Bronshtein folded in the small blind and Friedman kept his cards face down, which everyone agreed to.

Volpe's were exposed and he flopped broadway on the board. "Let's see if I can at least chop this," Friedman said with a grin on the face, exposed and left with a "thank god I didn't see this."
