Nick Schulman Wins Third Bracelet in Event #65: $10,000 PLO8 or Better Championship

Nível 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante

Nick Schulman

Nick Schulman is no stranger to the bright lights of poker. The multi-bracelet winner and PokerGO commentator has been a part of final tables at the biggest stage from numerous angles.

On Monday, he added to that acumen becoming the champion of the 2019 World Series of Poker Event #65: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship. Schulman topped a field of 193 entries en route to the first-place prize of $463,670 and his third career WSOP gold bracelet.

The victory was Schulman’s first bracelet in seven years. After the tournament, he stated that the game has changed a lot in the meantime: “The last seven years have seen a tremendous influx of new ideas and I’ve tried to kind of hang along with the game and here we are. I’m better but everybody’s better.”

If Schulman’s statement needed proof, he successfully navigated through a final table that was over half full of previous bracelet winners in addition to last year’s runner-up of this same tournament, Michael McKenna.

Final Table Action

Day 4’s final table of seven was reduced by two on the very first hand of play when McKenna was all in from the big blind for 65,000, less than the 80,000 from the first level of play. Corey Hochman chose to get his last two big blinds in on the hand as well and 2005 WSOP champ Joe Hachem called and hit two pair while fading a low draw to score the double elimination, sending McKenna home with $58,918 for his seventh-place finish while Hochman won $77,763 for sixth place.

Just two hands later, Chris Vitch fell running ace-king-four-two into Schulman's aces. Vitch flopped a gutshot draw to Broadway but improved no further and the mixed game specialist was sent home in fifth place earning $104,688 just days after cashing the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Denis Strebkov started the day with just 11 big blinds but managed to hang on and ladder up to fourth place. He exited when his flopped top set couldn't hang on against the wrap straight draw of Brian Hastings. Hastings turned the straight and Strebkov failed to improve, leaving the Russian native with $143,700 for his deep run, continuing his impressive summer after having recently taken third place in Event #51: $2,500 O.E. for $89,744 as well.

Hachem fell a short time later and all of a sudden a returning field of seven turned to two before the first break of the day. Hachem's undoing was a combo draw gone wrong, as his open-ended straight draw, flush draw, and low draw on the turn was against Schulman's made straight and a higher flush draw. Hachem would fail to hit his low and was forced to settle for third place and $201,041, coming just shy of adding a second WSOP gold bracelet to his wrist.

Schulman started heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip lead over Hastings and with almost 116 big blinds between them at the start a deep battle was in the making. Early in Level 28, Schulman had a chance to score the victory when he flopped top set against the middle pair and nut low draw of Hastings. Hastings made his low, however, and the duo battled on. Hastings managed to get a double in Level 29, and by the end of the Level 30, actually took the chip lead for a short period of time.

The biggest hand of the tournament took place in Level 31 when Schulman turned a full house against Hastings' trip tens, and when Hastings failed to improve, he was left with just ten big blinds. He managed one double, but on the final hand of the tournament, Hastings got his last 2.87 million in chips in with ace-six-three-deuce, and Schulman put him at risk with ace-ten-five-four. Neither player managed to improve, resulting in Schulman earning his third bracelet while Hastings took home $286,570 for his runner-up performance.

Schulman and Hastings played an epic heads-up battle

When asked about the heads-up match afterward, Schulman said it was tough to handle the mental dance between being in a position to put away a super tough opponent and how difficult it is to actually do so. He gave tons of kudos to Hastings for being a super tough opponent and a legend in his own right, on the hunt for his fifth career bracelet. Schulman also acknowledged how tough the entire field was, emphasizing that everybody out there was trying to win.

“It was on my mind but at the end of the day, you have the poker decisions and that’s really all we can control so I tried my best to focus on that as much as I can.”

Luckily for Schulman, the rest fell into place as well and he claimed the title of Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo World Champion as a result.

Brian Hastings Eliminated in 2nd Place ($286,570)

Nível 31 : 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Nick Schulman raised to 400,000 from the button, and Brian Hastings three-bet to 1.2 million. Schulman four-bet to put Hastings at risk for his last 2.87 million, and Hastings called.

Brian Hastings: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Nick Schulman: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

"Ace-ten hangin' in there for now," Hastings announced after the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop gave Hastings the nut low draw, while Schulman's ace-ten high was still in the lead.

"Hang in there, baby!" Schulman said.

The {q-Hearts} turn was a blank, and Schulman grinned and said, "Hang in there, hunny!' Hastings had a multitude of outs to scoop (any deuce, three or six), and any other low card would provide Hastings a chop.

The {j-Hearts} river indeed hung in there for Schulman, and his pair of eights, ace-jack-ten high would prove to be the final hand of the tournament, and the two shared a handshake before Schulman went to celebrate with his rail.

Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's action shortly.

Nick Schulman: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Schulman's full house just needed to dodge a queen to earn a big double, and the {j-Diamonds} river did just that.

Brian Hastings limped in from the button, and Nick Schulman checked.

Both players checked to the river of a {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board, where Hastings bet 160,000. Schulman called, and Hastings showed {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Schulman mucked.

Action checked through the {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, and on the {2-Clubs} turn, Hastings checked and Schulman bet 550,000. Hastings called.

The {10-Hearts} fell on the river, and both players quickly checked. Hastings tabled {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a jack-high straight, and Schulman mucked.

Nick Schulman limped in from the button, then called when Brian Hastings raised to 480,000 in the big blind.

Hastings bet 960,000 on the {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop, then called off his last 1.71 million total when Schulman potted it.

Hastings held a low draw and a pair of sevens, while Schulman had a wrap. The {3-Hearts} turn secured half the pot for Hastings with his low, and the {3-Diamonds} river bricked off for Schulman, giving Hastings a full double.

Brian Hastings was on the button and opened to 225,000. Nick Schulman called from the small blind and Joe Hachem came along as well, defending his big blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and all three players checked.

The turn was {k-Diamonds} and Schulman checked. Hachem bet 550,000 and Hastings folded. Schulman put in a check-raise to 1.8 million and Hachem called all in for a total of 1.25 million.

Joe Hachem: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Nick Schulman: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Hachem found himself up against Schulman's nut straight and better flush draw in need of a low to split the pot. The river came {9-Clubs} and was no help to Hachem as he found himself eliminated in third place from the tournament.

The remaining two players are taking a short break prior to get chip counts before the commencement of heads-up play.

Brian Hastings: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
