Morris Leaves Schulman on Fumes
Arthur Morris raised the pot to 525,000 on the button and Nick Schulman defended out of the big blind to see a flop of 10♣9♦5♦. Schulman asked for the size of the pot, which was 1,275,000, and checked before Morris asked for Schulman's stack, who instantly replied with 1,685,000.
The check behind by Morris led to the 7♣ turn on which Schulman bet the pot. Morris called after brief consideration and Schulman then checked the 9♠ on the river. Morris moved all in thereafter and Schulman mulled it over for a short while before he folded with a sigh.
Morris was visibly relieved and then tossed his cards on the table, exposing the K♣8♣7♦4♥ after which he said "it might have been the best hand.”
Schulman spoke with Phil Ivey after the hand and referred to a "shaky all-in" by Morris, though he still folded and now has the far shortest stack in the field.
