2017 SHRPO Super High Roller champ Nick Schulman has picked up right where he left off — winning! In fact, he’s currently sitting with nearly twice the starting stack. Meanwhile, it’s been a rough level for Ari Engel, who has less than half what he started with.

In a recent hand, Matt Glantz opened for 2,000  under the gun and Jonathan Jaffe called one spot over. Engel then three-bet to 7,100 from the button before Schulman four-bet to 25,000 from the big blind.

Both Glantz and Jaffe hurriedly folded and Engel, who was sitting with around 33,000 back, debated what to do. Eventually he settled on a fold and sent his cards to the muck.

Nick Schulman – 195,000 (244 bb)
Ari Engel – 33,000  (41 bb)
