Schulman Rivers Li

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Yingui Li raised to 500,000 in the cutoff with A?3? and received a call from big blind Nick Schulman, who had 8?6?.

Schulman then led out for 350,000 on the 3?3?8? flop and Li just flat-called with his trips. Li was upgraded to a full house on the A? turn, but he played it slowly as the action went check-check.

The 8? came on the river, seeing both players hit a full house. Schulman made a bet of 2,600,000 with his eights full, and Li called off with his threes full.

He saw the bad news at showdown and had to forfeit a large portion of his stack to the chipleader.
