Nick Schulman - 17th Place
Nick Schulman - 17th Place
It didn't take long for the newly short-stacked Nick Schulman to get his chips in the middle. He moved in for 173,000 after Mike Sowers opened the preflop action with a raise. Sowers was the only caller.

Schulman: {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Sowers: {6-Spades} {7-Spades}

Neither player hit the {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop, but Sowers did make an up-and-down straight draw. The turn blanked {3-Diamonds}, but the river {10-Spades} made Sowers' straight and ended Schulman's tournament. He earned $51,114 for finishing in 17th place.
