Shulman Quartered and Crippled

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

After the player in the hijack limped, Barry Shulman raised to 3,900 from the button, leaving himself 4,600 behind. The blinds cleared out and the hijack hit the tank, eventually making the call. When the flop fell {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, the hijack put out a big bet and Shulman called off his stack.

Shulman: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Hijack: {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped the nut low, but it was the hijack's pair of eight out in front for the high. The {K-Hearts} turn improved the hijack to two pair, but it was the {8-Hearts} on the river that saw Shulman shout out, "Flush!" Obviously he didn't see that the card also gave the hijack a full house.

Shulman was quartered in the hand and left with just 4,700.
