"You Run So F***ing Pure": Schulman Doubles Through Katz

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

In a heads-up pot between the blinds, Nick Schulman checked on the flop of 5Q10 and Cary Katz bet 19,000. Schulman check-raised for most of his stack and Katz three-bet to put the recent Seven Card Stud Championship winner at risk. Schulman called.

Nick Schulman: KJ75
Cary Katz: KQJ9

"I'm in bad shape," Katz said despite having the best hand as the 2 landed on the turn.

"Now you're in really bad shape," Schulman said after making the flush before the A river earned him the double.

"You run so f***ing pure," Katz said to Schulman as the four-time bracelet winner raked in the pot.

Late Night Bustouts and Re-Entries

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The Day 1 field has already swelled to an incredible 353 entries of which fewer than 200 players remain. Below are some of those who came and left.

Screw It!

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

On a heads-up flop of A6Q, Keith Lehr led out for 12,000 and the action was then on his opponent, Daniel Negreanu.

"Ok, so if he's got three aces and the nut flush draw, he's not there yet, I call!" He exclaimed as he tossed in the chips.

The turn then came the Q and the action was on Lehr.

"All of it," he announced as he put the rest of his stack in, covering Negreanu.

"Why did you bet all of it? You know I'm not going to fold," Negreanu began to engage in some table talk with his opponent.

After some more back-and-forth, Negreanu finally made the call to put himself at risk.

"You there already? Because I am," Negreanu asked as he tabled his cards and got his vlog camera ready.

"Nope," Lehr replied as he did the same, minus the camera.

Daniel Negreanu: 7664
Keith Lehr: AJ99

"Ok no nine, no queen!" Negreanu shouted at the board, which completed with a safe 10 to give him the win for the double-up while Lehr was now the one left short.

"I was seriously considering folding that!" Negreanu said, "But then I was like, screw it!"

Weisman Back to the Starting Stack

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a completed board of Q32J6, Elior Sion checked and Dylan Weisman tossed in a pot-sized bet by using his three T-25,000 chips with very few chips behind. Sion went deep into the tank and used three time bank extensions before he folded.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey was in a four-way pot that checked through on the flop of 5J2.

Ivey bet 20,000 on the A turn and only Mark Berente called. Ivey then checked on the 4 river and Berente checked back.

Ivey tabled A2 for aces and deuces, but it was no good against the better two pair of Berente with A995.
