Re: wpt foxwoods
These are the kind of 1.5M chip hands that are why Nick will win 276k to 2M, while Alex went home w/ 27k:
Minh Nguyen raises to $90,000 preflop, and Nick Schulman reraises to $285,000. Nguyen moves all in over the top for $418,000 more. Schulman goes into the tank for a minute before deciding to make the call. Schulman has Nguyen covered, but Nguyen is in the lead. Nguyen has 10c-10h and Schulman is in bad shape with 8h-8s. The flop improves Nguyen's lead, when it comes Ac-9s-7s. The turn is a diamond, and looks a bit like a snowman. Could it be? It's an eight. All of a sudden Nguyen goes from a huge favorite to an underdog. He does have some outs however. He can catch a jack or a six for the straight, or a ten for the win. The river is a brick though, the 3h, and Schulman outdraws the veteran professional Nguyen, sending him to the rail in 8th place. Nguyen takes home $172,800 for his efforts.
