Shulman Sweats His Check-raise

Some thought is going into the players' decisions now - and well might they consider, with so much money at stake with a bucket-load of prestige sprinkled on top.

Jason Mercier's early aggression seems to have been used against him now and then, with Barry Shulman the most recent check-raiser of a {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop, to the tune of 200k. Mercier spent more time than usual considering what to do with this situation, sitting very still and eventually letting his 73k he'd bet on the flop make its way over to Shulman.
