Nick Schulman Makes a Great Call
Evan McNiff bet 150,000 from the cutoff on a board of A74
3 and Nick Schulman made the call. The river was dealt 7 and McNiff bet 327,000. Schulman went into the tank for several minutes and counted out the chips needed to make the call. He eventually moved them into the middle and McNiff turned up 42. Schulman turned up AJ to win the large pot and sky rocket his chip stack up to 1.8 million, which is good for second on the leader board. McNiff was knocked down to just over a million.
