Last night, with 11 players remaining, T.J. Shulman was down to a single chip worth a single ante — 25,000 — and mounted a comeback to reach the final nine with 300,000 (15 big blinds). Shulman is off to a good start today to continue his momentum.

Shulman’s last big hand last night was doubling thru Thomas Collazo with Q-Q vs. 4-4.

Today, in one of the first hands of the nine-handed final table, Collazo raised from middle position to 700,000, Shulman moved all in for 2,975,000, and Collazo called with Ks10d. Shulman turned over QsQd, and Collazo said, “Queens? Again?”

The board came AdQhJs6dJc — Collazo flopped an ace-high straight, but Shulman rivered a full house to win the pot and double up again.

T.J. Shulman  –  4,275,000  (21 bb)
Thomas Collazo  –  11,000,000  (55 bb)

With nine players remaining, the average chip stack is about 6.7 million (34 big blinds).
