Elias Raises Schulman, Schulman Wins With Pair

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 120,000 ante

Darren Elias raised his button to 200,000. Nick Schulman called in the small blind, drawing one card. Elias needed two fresh ones and faced a bet of 175,000 from Schulman after the draw.

After some thought, Elias raised it to 700,000. Schulman quickly folded his hand, surrendering the pot to Elias.

On the next deal, Schulman limped in from the small blind. Chad Eveslage checked his option in the big blind and drew three cards after Schulman had taken two.

The players checked to showdown, where Schulman's 7x7x5x3x2x won the pot.

"If you had bet, it was coming," Schulman told Eveslage.

"Oh, I believe you," Eveslage responded.

Action folded to Darren Elias who moved all in from the small blind, and Oscar Johansson called for his last 900,000 in the big blind.

Both players drew one. Elias turned over Jx5x4x3x, while Johansson had 9x6x4x3x. Elias drew a 9x to make J-9-5, while Johansson received a Jx to make an inferior J-9-6 as he was sent to the rail in fourth place.

Nick Schulman raised to 160,000 under the gun and Oscar Johansson called in the big blind.

Both players drew one and Johansson then led out for 250,000. Schulman raised to 675,000 and Johansson took around two minutes before sliding in a reraise to 1,500,000.

Schulman turned around to take a sip of his drink (his usual order of hot water and lemon) before burying his face on the rail of the table. He eventually ripped off his sunglasses and spent a few minutes counting out his chips before announcing a call.

"Good call," Johansson said, and Schulman turned over 9x8x6x3x2x. Johansson mucked and Schulman took in the massive pot.

Ben Yu

Ben Yu raised to 160,000 under the gun. Chad Eveslage sat in the small blind, asking how much Yu played in total before moving all in. Yu quickly called off his stack of 1,660,000, and saw Eveslage stand pat on the draw.

Yu spent the next minutes in thought, looking at his hand several times before deciding to also stay pat.

Eveslage showed 10x8x7x4x3x for a ten-eight, beating the ten-nine of Yu, who tabled his 10x9x4x3x2x before he left to pick up his payout.

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 120,000 ante

Immediately following his elimination of Dan Smith, Nick Schulman opened to 160,000 in the cutoff, and Ben Yu called in the big blind.

Yu drew two, and Schulman stood pat. Both players checked, and Yu announced a pair, while Schulman showed a J-10 to win the pot.

Schulman then raised again to 160,000 under the gun, but this time Oscar Johansson three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind. Schulman gave up his hand.

Chad Eveslage then raised to 160,000 under the gun, and Schulman called in the big blind. He took two, and Eveslage stood pat.

Both players checked, and Schulman showed a J-7, but Eveslage had 10-7 to win the pot.

Dan Smith
Dan Smith

Dan Smith was first to act and raised to 920,000, leaving only a single T-5,000 chip back. Nick Schulman called in the small blind and stood pat on the draw.

Smith drew one card, after which the players checked it to showdown. "Number three," Schulman announced, and tabled 7x6x5x3x2x.

Smith's hand disappeared into the muck as he placed his final chip as the big blind for the next hand. Ben Yu then limped in from the hijack before he called button Schulman's raise to 250,000.

Smith and Yu drew one card each, while Schulman remained pat behind. Yu checked to Schulman after the draw, but he folded once the six-time bracelet winner placed a bet of 175,000.

"You gotta beat an eight, cowboy," Schulman said to Smith as he showed 8x7x6x4x2x.

Smith had been drawing dead to Schulman's hand with his 9x6x5x2x, and he revealed an Ax as his final card before departing the stage.
