Shulman Busts in Epic Fashion
Come closer delicious friends and listen to the crazy tale that is Barry Shulman's exit hand. It was relayed to us by Barny Boatman who admitted he'd never seen anything like it.
Barry Shulman had opened to 1,500 preflop. Anton Wigg had called before Ariel Celestino three-bet in position to 5,200. Shulman now called this and then Wigg back-raised to 12,400 in a four-bet.
Celestino folded but then Shulman decided to call this with only 20,000 behind.
The flop was and Shulman checked. Wigg moved all in only to be snap-called.
Wigg showed but he was drawing virtually dead against Shulman's incredibly unlikely holding of for a flopped straight.
The on the turn gave Wigg a flush draw and the river made the Swede the nuts from seemingly nowhere to eliminated the former WSOPE Main Event champion. Wigg was up to 85,000 as a result.
Poker, eh? Bloody hell.
