Re: wpt foxwoods
what got him really rolling was when he had KK vs AQ on a board with Queen high agaist a big stack...that is nice.
He played pretty tight as far as I could tell...i he never went after me when i played back at him...in fact i may be the only person to have taken chips from him lol... He is in great shape against a tough FT and he is gonna do fine. sheets

Re: wpt foxwoods
This one could turn out to be a really key hand.
Date / Time: 2005-11-18 14:14:00 Hand #25 - Nick Schulman has the button in seat 2, and Berman moves all in for $575,000, and Schulman quickly calls. Now Licastro goes into the tank in the big blind, and he studies the situation for several minutes before folding. Berman shows Ah-Jc, but he's dominated by Schulman's Ac-Kd. Berman needs to improve here to stay alive. The flop comes Qc-6s-2s, and Berman is in trouble, needing to catch a jack or a runner-runner straight to survive. The turn card is a blank (they didn't show it or announce it), and the river card is a 9. Lyle Berman is eliminated in fifth place, earning $345,000. 1. Nick Schulman - $4,200,000 (seat 2) 2. Tony Licastro - $1,300,000 (seat 3) 3. Allen Cunningham - $1,200,000 (seat 5) 4. Bill Gazes - $850,000 (seat 6) If Licastro was just showboating, nevermind. But, if he was really thinking, I figure there's a decent chance he had a pair, or maybe AQ. If he decides to go all-in with either of those hands, he wins this hand and has something like a 3.2M to 2.3M chip advantage over Nick w/ a couple of guys within striking range at around 1M. Instead, he folds, and Nick takes a commanding lead, far ahead of the other three. Will be interesting to find out what Licastro had.

What do you think of this hand??
Date / Time: 2005-11-18 15:54:00
Title: Tony Licastro Doubles Through Nick Schulman Log: Hand #67 - Bill Gazes has the button in seat 6, Schulman raises to $320,000, Licastro moves all in for about $1.3 million, and Schulman asks for a count of Licastro's chips. Schulman calls, showing As-5s, but Licastro has him dominated with Ah-9c. The flop comes Kh-8c-6h, and Licastro is still in the lead. The turn card is the 10d, and Schulman needs to catch a five to bust Licastro. The river card is the 4d, teasing Schulman before Tony "All-In" Licastro doubles up to about $2,110,000. Nick Schulman is knocked down to $4 million in chips.

Re: What do you think of this hand??
Maybe getting a touch loose with the 1,000,000 calls. I still have faith in him, and I'd rather Locastro have those chips then Gazes.

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.
