Schulman Relents to Bardah's Aggression

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 0 ante

Nick Schulman raised from middle position and found one caller in Ronnie Bardah from the big blind.

Bardah check-raised a bet from Schulman on the 4♦10♠2♥ flop and Schulman called.

The turn brought the J♣ and Bardah continued for a bet. Schulman raised and, undeterred, Bardah made it three bets to go.

Schulman pondered for a bit, but eventually decided to let his hand go — conceding the pot to Bardah.
