Kulicki had pre-registered but is among the last players to actually take their seat in today's field. With three previous WSOP cashes, including a 7th place in Event #23: $ 2,000 No Limit Hold'em at this year's WSOP, you would hope that Kulicki hasn't got his days confused as his stack is now down to 17,600.
Shulman turned up only to find that they were cracked on the river by the big blind's .
"I knew that's what you had" groaned Shulman as her opponent dragged the pot. She's down to 9,500.

The other was about a $600,000 pot in a NLH game where a top pro made a sick call with pocket nines on a jack high board after his opponent moved all-in with a gutshot draw. They ran it twice and split the pot after the straight came on the second run.
We won't mention any of the names involved as you know how the details can get blurred as the story gets passed on. Let's just say they are well known players.
On a turn of , the big blind bet 3,000. Again Pham called.
