From the button Nick Schulman moved all in for roughly 200,000 chips. Berkey folded in the small blind but Martin Finger took one look at his cards and snap called.
Schulman:
Finger:
Schulman was in trouble and he needed help to stay alive but he didn't find it on the board, nor did he find it on the turn, nor on the river. Schulman wished his opponents luck and took his leave from the tournament.
After Schulman's elimination, the players are redrawing for seats and moving to the main stage in the Amazon room.
