Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 375,000 ante
Before the hand, a dispute arose over whether Darren Elias had put in enough for the small blind and if Nick Schulman had done so the previous hand. "I don't even remember who won the last hand," Schulman said, suggesting that the long hours may be taking their toll.
After the dispute was settled and the amounts confirmed, Elias raised to 500,000 and Schulman called. Schulman took two while Elias stood pat and bet another 500,000. Schulman quickly folded.
Schulman then raised to 500,000 on the button and Elias moved all in. Schulman had around 6,000,000 remaining and didn't take long before sending his cards into the muck.
The next hand, Elias raised again to 500,000 and Schulman called. Both players took two and Schulman led out for 450,000. Elias folded and Schulman took the pot.
