Schulman Doesn't Believe

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Ben Lamb raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Nick Schulman defended his big blind.

Schulman drew two and Lamb drew one. Schulman then checked to Lamb, who announced a bet of 11,000.

Schulman didn't take long to put in a call and Lamb said, "I have a pair of tens" — prompting Schulman to table Qx8x7x6x3x.

Lamb sent his hand into the muck and Schulman padded his stack.

Stephen Moreschi and Greg Mueller went heads-up to the draw when Mueller bet 15,000 from the small blind. "If I hit my hand, I'm going to have to raise," Moreschi said as he drew one and peeled his last card.

"I'm giving you a lot of credit," Moreschi added as he called and turned over 8x6x5x3x2x. Mueller mucked and Moreschi took the pot.

"You showed me a seven earlier," he told Mueller after the hand.
