Nick Shulman Makes Tough Call to Double Into Chip Lead

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With 1.14 million already in the pot and a board reading {5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Nick Schulman checked holding the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Steffen Sontheimer moved all in with the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Sontheimer was essentially bluffing, and Schulman agonized over what to do. He used a time extension and eventually spiked in some chips to call off. It was the right call and he scooped a 2.43 million pot because of it.
