Leo Soma:
"Good luck," Schultz remarked to Soma. As the dealer prepared to deal the flop, the two bumped fists, showing their respect for the other as players.
Schultz was going to need some help to stay alive in the tournament, and he got it in droves on the flop, which gave him two pair, and making Soma's kings no good, for now.
"King! King! King!" could be heard from the rail, as Soma's vocal fanbase continued their unwavering support.
Their chants would go unfulfilled, however. The board finished out , leaving Schultz with the best hand, and the double up.
