Can Schulman Add To His Legacy in $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship?
If Nick Schulman joined "poker's immortals" when he won Event #30: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship earlier this summer, then a win in Event #71: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship will surely rubber stamp his induction to the Poker Hall of Fame (whenever that is).
He returns sitting second in chips with nine players remaining looking to become the eighth player to eight bracelets. He'll have to see off a field that features start-of-day chip leader and former bracelet-winner himself, Matthew Schreiber, former Poker Players Championship runner-up Yuri Dzivielevski and his fellow Brazilian Pedro Bromfman.
