Level 38:  300,000/600,000/75,000 Ante

TJ Shulman
T.J. Shulman

T.J. Shulman moved all in from the button for 5.45 million, and Taylor Fortini called from the small blind with AsJc. Shulman turned over AhKh, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10s9s8c2h8d — Fortini flopped an open-ended straight draw, but improved no further. Shulman won the pot with his king kicker to double up in chips.

These were the approximate chip counts after that hand, followed by the remaining prizepool:

Seat 3.  Ivan Freitez  –  26,700,000  (45 bb)
Seat 8.  T.J. Shulman  –  11,725,000  (20 bb)
Seat 9.  Taylor Fortini  –  21,700,000  (36 bb)

1st:  $155,697
2nd:  $101,721
3rd:  $66,680

Shortly after this hand, it appears that they have come to an agreement for a three-way chop that would award the title and the trophy to chipleader Ivan Freitez. Stay tuned for more details.
