Nick Schulman is now a seven-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner. Schulman topped the 233-entrant field in Event #30: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship to win the $497,356 first-place prize. He is now tied with Daniel Negreanu, John Hennigan, Scott Seiver, Benny Glaser, Men Nguyen, and Billy Baxter with seven WSOP bracelets.
Three of Schulman's bracelets are in this $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship. He won it previously in 2009 and 2012, finished second in 2015, and finished fifth in 2011. Schulman also moves to the top of the WSOP No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw All-Time Money List with more than $1,325,000 in earnings, according to The Hendon Mob. Schulman has now amassed more than $23,737,000 in lifetime tournament earnings and remains at 47th on the All-Time Money List.
The record-setting field of 233 entrants was aided by a tweak to the structure, which allowed an additional reentry for players compared to previous years. Day 3 played down to the final six players before an unscheduled Day 4 was added, with Schulman entering with the chip lead. Dan Smith exited in sixth place when he was unable to best Schulman's eight, following Schulman's number three hand previously. Ben Yu was eliminated in fifth before he was all-in and pat with a ten-nine, but Chad Eveslage fanned a ten-eight.
Sweden's Oscar Johansson was all-in and drew to a nine and improved to a jack-nine. Darren Elias was drawing to a jack and caught a nine, making a nine also. But he pipped Johansson by one, and the tournament was down to the final three. The three-handed war lasted for roughly 90 minutes before Eveslage shoved with a ten-draw and was against Schulman's nine-draw. Schulman immediately improved to render Eveslage draw dead. Schulman would hold better than a two-to-one lead starting heads-up play.
Elias found a double with an eight-seven against Schulman's ten-seven. The two then traded blows back and forth for over eight hours, with each player taking their turn and becoming the chip leader. With Elias sitting with roughly 13 big blinds, he moved all-in with a ten-nine draw, and Schulman called with a pat ten-eight. Elias paired and was eliminated in second place as Schulman was crowned a three-time champion of the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw Championship.
