Dirt Off Your Shoulder

Nick Schulman
Nick Schulman

Nick Schulman had the worst seat in the house today, sitting to Phil Ivey's immediate right. The two men have been chatting like old pals for two days now, as they were seated together for the bulk of Day 2 as well. But the table talk is over now.

Nick Schulman got his ~160,000 chips in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and Ivey looked him up with the {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. You can probably figure out the rest of the story from the not-so-clever foreshadowing. The flop came {2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} to leave Ivey freerolling to the win with two cards to come. And he only needed one. The {3-Diamonds} peeled off right on the turn, and just like that, Schulman was drawing dead and out the door before his coffee had even cooled to sipping temperature.

That knockout moves Ivey up to about 430,000, but he's involved in another big pot that's brewing at his table right now...
