Barry Shulman Hits the Rail

With only 2,175 left in his stack, Barry Shulman moved all in from middle position. Immediately, the dealer began counting down his stack.

"Did anybody ask you to count my stack?" Shulman asked. The dealer continued to count it down.

"I said, did anybody ask you to count my stack?" Shulman repeated. As soon as he asked his question a second time, a player on the button asked for a count. The dealer replied that Shulman had 2,175.

"I call," said the button player.

Shulman had {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}; the button had {J-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. Neither improved, and the button's king-jack was enough to take down the pot. After Shulman departed from the table, several players noted that he had acted like "a d*ck" all day and joked that they intended to cancel their subscriptions to Shulman's magazine.
