Re: What do you think of this hand??
Hand #89 - Nick Schulman has the button, he limps for $80,000, and Licastro checks his option. The flop comes As-Ks-8d, Licastro checks, Schulman bets $120,000, Licastro raises to $300,000, and Schulman calls. The turn card is the 2s, putting three spades on the board. Schulman moves all in, and Licastro immediately calls. Schulman shows 9s-6s for a flush, while Licastro shows 8h-2d for two pair. Licastro will need to improve here by catching a deuce or an eight to stay alive. The river card is -- the 5s! Tony Licastro is eliminated in second place, earning $1,035,000.
Nick Schulman wins the 2005 WPT World Poker Finals at the Foxwoods Resort & Casino, winning $2,142,000, a Wampum belt (as a trophy), and a $25,500 seat into the WPT World Championship at Bellagio in the spring.
i think we all know he was really playing for the wampum belt.
