Seiken Eliminated by Schulman

Level 6

PLO:

Nicholas Seiken lost most of his chips to Eric Rodawig when Rodawig made a six low and flush to beat Rodawig's seven low and two pair in Stud Hi-Lo. After the hand, Seiken had just 500 chips. He was able to double a few times and started this hand with right around 10,000.

Nick Schulman raised to 5,000 on the button and Phil Hellmuth called in the small blind. Nicholas Seiken called in the big blind.

On the {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Seiken moved all in out of turn for 5,500.

"I'll check," Hellmuth said, meaning the Seiken's shove would stand. Schulman then called and Hellmuth sighed and released.

Nick Seiken: {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}
Nick Schulman: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Schulman had the better pair while both players had a gut shot, but the turn was the {A-Diamonds} and the river was the {K-Spades} so with his pair of eights, Schulman would take down the pot and Send Seiken packing.
