Hands #100-105: Shulman Doubles Through Scholten

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Barry Shulman

Hand #100: A walk for Tom Koral.

Hand #101: Koral limped the small blind and Freek Scholten checked. The {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop went check/check, as did the {6-Hearts} turn.

The {2-Clubs} river brought a 2,400,000 bet from Koral and a fold from Scholten.

Hand #102: Koral raised to 2,500,000 on the button, Scholten three-bet to 9,000,000 from the small blind. Barry Shulman folded and Koral inquired about Scholten's stack. He took around a minute before laying his hand down.

Hand #103: Scholten raised to 2,500,000 on the button. Koral three-bet to 10,000,000 from the big blind and Scholten folded.

Hand #104: A walk for Scholten.

Hand #105: Scholten shoved all in from the small blind and Barry Shulman called all in for 12,300,000 in the big blind.

Barry Shulman: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Freek Scholten: {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} to keep Schulman ahead with ace-high. The {a-Clubs} on the turn sealed it for the two-time bracelet winner, making the river {6-Diamonds} merely one for the statistics.

An excited Allyn Shulman bounced up and down the rail as she watched the action unfold in her husband's favor.

"That's my boy!" she yelled. "Let's go honey!"

Philip Scaletta Elminated in 4th Place ($176,219)

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Philip Scaletta

Hand #99: Philip Scaletta shoved from the cutoff for 11,300,000 all in and Freek Scholten reraised all in to put him at risk. The other two had no interest in getting involved and their cards were spun over.

Philip Scaletta: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Freek Scholten: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Scaletta had a strong hand but unfortunately for him, he had run into a better hand from Scholten. With his tournament life at risk with only 30 percent equity, they headed to the flop. It came {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, which gave Scholten top pair but increased Scaletta's outs by one.

The {10-Spades} turn paired the board and the {6-Clubs} river was of no help to him as well to end his deep run in fourth place.

Hands #97-98: Scholten Bluffs Multiple Streets into Koral

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Hand #97: Barry Shulman raised all in 16,500 on the button and no one wanted to call.

Hand #98: Tom Koral limped in the small blind and Freek Scholten checked in the big. The flop came {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Koral checked to Scholten who bet 1,800,000 and Koral called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and when Koral checked again, Scholten barreled for 4,700,000. Koral called and the river was a {2-Clubs} brick. After Koral checked a third time, Scholten set 12,000,000 over the line. Koral asked for a count and made the call with {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. It was the right one, with Scholten showing {10-}{3-} for a missed straight draw turned bluff.

Hand #81: Freek Scholten raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun and won the hand.

Back on Koral, he considered the action for a bit before giving it up.
