Nick Schulman: XxXx/3x9x3x10x/Xx
Talal Shakerchi: XxXx/4x8x6x5x/Xx

Schulman completed and was called by Shakerchi.

Shakerchi then checked fourth street before calling Schulman's bet.

"19k," said Schulman on fifth street, tossing in the last of chips. Shakerchi matched the bet, and the players turned their cards over.

Shakerchi held Kx7x and had an eight-seven prior to his final card, the Jx. Schulman showed 2x5x, but his final 2x provided no help as he exited the tournament in 11th.
