Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Calvin Anderson raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Veerachai Vongxaiburana called on the button. Nick Schulman then three-bet to 180,000 in the small blind and both opponents called.

The flop came 7♣5♣4♦ and Schulman moved all in for 74,000. Anderson and Vongxaiburana both called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Anderson then led out for 100,000 and Vongxaiburana called to create a side pot. Anderson bet another 200,000 on the 2♦ river, and this time Vongxaiburana folded.

Anderson showed A♣Q♣8♠4♠3♠ for a wheel, while Schulman also had A♦A♥J♥10♠3♥ and they chopped the pot.

"I liked that deuce of spades, a lot. I figured I wasn't in good shape on the flop," Schulman said.
