Phillips Questions a Possible Slowroll
"It's not a slowroll, it's a nitroll. He's not really slowrolling him, he's just a tight player." said Mercier.
Mercier is friends with Carter Phillips, and well, Phillips may have just been nitrolled.
Maurice Schulmann raised to 12,400 after beginning the hand with 73,500. Carter Phillips was next in position and reraised to 34,000 after verifying how much Schulmann began the hand with. It folded back around to Schulman and he tanked... and tanked... and tanked. About three or four minutes went by on the clock before he finally moved all in. Phillips made the call.
Phillips showed pocket sevens and then Schulmann tabled pocket queens. Phillips immediately looked at him and asked, "Was that a slowroll?"
Schulmann doesn't understand English very well and didn't respond. Phillips asked again, which prompted Antony Lellouche to translate to Schulmann.
The board ran out
and Phillips shipped over the chips. Lellouche explained to Phillips that this is Schulmann's first tournament and that he understand how Phillips feels.Phillips dropped to 115,000 on the hand.
