Shulman on the Brink

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

On a {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, Jeff Shulman had 27,000 left but check-folded to a bet from Rafael Concepcion. Concepcion showed {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{X-}{X-} and Shulman escaped.

The next hand, the 2009 November Niner was all in from the small blind and up against Concepcion and Julien Martini. After the board had ran out {8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Shulman showed {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} for the nut straight and tripled up.

Short-stacked, Brian Haack was all in for his final chips and Rafael Concepcion was the one to put him at risk.

Brian Haack: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Rafael Concepcion: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Jeff Shulman Eliminated in 12th Place ($13,091); James Pursley Eliminated in 11th Place ($13,091)

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
James Pursley
James Pursley

Jeff Shulman was all in for just 43,000, James Pursley also went all in for 70,000 and Mack Lee, who swamped both stacks, came along as well to try and score a double knockout.

Jeff Shulman: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
James Pursley: {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}
Mack Lee: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

All players stood up and Pursley clapped his hands in excitement. "I got the low," he cheered.

However, on the {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop, a low was nary in sight. Shulman took a big lead with trip jacks, but the {A-Diamonds} on the turn basically ended it all. The case jack was all that was left for Shulman but the {10-Spades} rolled off instead. Both players received $13,091 as they made their way to the exit.

With the double knockout, the remaining 10 players redrew for the unofficial final table.
