Pot-Limit Omaha

All other tables were already on break but a big pot was brewing over on table 672. Joao Vieira had raised from under the gun and received multiple callers. On the 10♦9♦3♣ flop, he had bet 70,000 and was called only by Nick Schulman in the cutoff to then fired another bet of 180,000 on the J♠ turn, which Schulman called once more.

Vieira then pulled the trigger on the K♥ river and moved all-in. Schulman had around 350,000 behind and went deep into the tank. Several minutes into the break, Schulman used a single chip for the call and was shown the A♣A♦Q♦2♠ for broadway by Vieira.

Schulman revealed his Q♥J♣9♠9♥ for a flopped set of nines and rivered second nut straight to bow out from the tournament.
