Event #1 Day 1A: TJ Shulman Lays Down Top Two Pair

Event #1: $250 Big Stack No-Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600/200 Ante

With the board reading Jc6c3s10h, TJ Shulman (with 15,000 already committed postflop) was in the tank for the rest of his chips as two other players were all in.

“I always find myself in these spots,” said Shulman. “Can’t see how I’m beating both of you.”

After a few more moments, Shulman open folded Jd10d for top two pair.

The shorter-stacked opponent turned up 5c4d for an open-ended straight draw, while the big stack tabled KdKs for an overpair.

Shulman had folded the best hand, but the river was the Kc to give the big stack a set of kings. A relieved Shulman let out a big sigh and is still sitting on a solid stack of about 75,000.
