Nick Schulman‘s first cash of the 2023 Poker Masters was the biggest payout of the series thus far, as he bested a field of 44 entries to win Event #7 for $374,000. Schulman came into the final table fourth in chips, but chipped up nicely with back-to-back eliminations of Victoria Livschitz and Chris Brewer in fifth and fouth place, respectively.
The short-stacked Livschitz committed her seven big blinds with ace-four suited and Schulman found pocket nines in the big blind. The pair held and Schulman was on his way. A little while later, Brewer called all in for 14 big blinds with ace-queen and was leading Schulman’s nine-eight suited. Schulman paired on the turn and Brewer couldn’t catch up.
After Brian Rast was eliminated in third place, Schulman began heads-play against Nick Petrangelo slightly trailing in chips. The two decided to double the blinds, resulting in a quick match. Schulman took the lead on the first hand before ultimately closing it out. Both picked up an ace, Schulman raised all in with his chip-leading stack holding ace-jack, and Petrangelo called all in for 11 big blinds with ace-four. Schulman improved to trip jacks to secure the victory.
