Joe Elpayaa Eliminated By Chip Leader Nick Schulman
Level 14: 2,500-5,000, 500 ante
Nick Schulman raises to 12,000 from middle position and Joe Elpayaa defends the big blind.
The flop comes A
3
3
and Elpayaa checks. Schulman bets 15,000 and Elpayaa calls. The turn is the Q
and Elpayaa checks again. Schulman bes 24,500 and Elpayaa calls.
The river is the K and Elpayaa checks a third time. Schulman bets 180,000, which is more than enough to put Elpayaa all-in for his remaining 140,000 or so.
Elpayaa thinks a while, mumbling to himself under his breath. Eventually he calls.
Schulman tables A3 for a flopped full house and Elpayaa mucks.
With that pot, Nick Schulman is now the first player over the 1 million-chip mark.
Nick Schulman - 1,090,000 (218 BBs)
Joe Elpayaa - eliminated
