Schulman Shows Up and Toasts Kaverman

Level 10 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds where Byron Kaverman moved all in from the small blind for right around 50,000. Nick Schulman had just been seated in the big blind. He tanked for a bit then called.

Byron Kaverman: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Nick Schulman: {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"That's a good hand to have," Kaverman said.

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and both players paired their eight, but Schulman took down the pot with his bigger kicker, eliminating Kaverman in the process.
