Hand #122 - Shulman Orders a Big Slick, Drinks Double

Phil Ivey has the button. First to act, Joe Cada opens to 1.25 million before Jeff Shulman announces an all in for his last 7.025 million. Joe Cada goes into the think tank for an arduous five or six minutes. The table seems a bit surprised when Cada quietly announces the call to put Shulman at risk. It was a big decision as Cada is left with less than 3 million after the call.

Showdown
Cada: {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}
Shulman: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

The crowd rises to life once again as the dealer runs out a clean flop of {3-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}. The {Q-Diamonds} that arrives on the turn leaves Shulman looking to fade the kings and the eights left in the deck to stay alive and double up.

The river: {4-Diamonds}. That's safe for Shulman, and he's now got twice as many chips as he did before. He's all the way up to 15,150,000 now, while Cada slides back to just 2,275,000.
