Shulman Survives

A player under the gun limped, Jeff Shulman raised to 750 from middle position, and all but the limper skedaddled.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The UTG player checked, and Shulman -- on the short side to start this hand with less than 11,000 -- bet 1,000. His opponent then checked-raised to 2,300, and Shulman called.

By this point the camera crew had begun to edge their way over to the table, sensing a possible bustout hand of a 2009 November Niner. The turn brought the {J-Clubs}. The UTG player checked again, and an undeterred Shulman bet 2,400. His opponent called.

The river was the {5-Spades}, pairing the board. Shulman's opponent again checked, and Shulman pushed his remaining 5,000 forward. His opponent, showing a bit of nervousness before the cameras, cut out the chips to call.

Shulman turned over {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a full house, and his opponent mucked.

As the cameras moved on, seeking other prey, Shulman stacked his new stack of 22,000.
