WSOP 2024: Nick Schulman Nails Fifth Bracelet And Career-Best Score In HR 

Nick Schulman added yet another feather in his cap when he scooped his fifth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in Event #26: $25,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold’em (8-Handed). This was Schulan’s biggest WSOP cash with $1,667,842 in his bank. For Schulman, the victory was a testament to his versatility and competitiveness in a non-mixed games format at high stakes.

“I felt incredible,” Schulman recalled, reflecting on the moment. “It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe, but it’s like a mix of relief and elation all at once. You know, everyone who’s played poker tournaments has a lot of residual trauma from all the close calls and tough beats. And holding that hand was amazing. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.”

The hand in question was a massive flip that gave Schulman a commanding lead at the final table. From there, he went on to eliminate five of his seven opponents, leaving Rodriguez with just two big blinds. Yet, despite being in a precarious position, Rodriguez managed to ladder to a runner-up finish worth $1,111,897.

“It’s pretty rare to find yourself in a situation like that,” Schulman acknowledged. “But I was fortunate enough to have the kind of golden lane where my opponents couldn’t really do anything. Even if they knew I was messing around, they still couldn’t do anything. And that’s the best place to be at a final table.”

Final Table Results 

The World Series of Poker High Roller event saw 318 entries this year, up from 301 entries last year, setting a new record and creating a prize pool of $7,473,000. The final table featured notable players, including six-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, who finished 8th and took home $153,302. British high-stakes player Ben Heath secured 5th place with $376,762, while high roller regular David Stamm finished 4th, earning $529,833.

Schulman’s previous WSOP bracelets, beginning in 2009, are in mixed game variants such as 2-7 Lowball Draw, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, and Seven Card Stud. Last year, he won Event #9: $1,500 Seven Card Stud, earning $110,800, resulting in one of the most memorable winner’s photos in poker history.

NOT ONE. NOT TWO. NOT THREE. NOT FOUR.
