Schulman, a seven-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, began the final table with a slight chip lead, which he quickly expanded into a commanding advantage. By the time heads-up play commenced against Dzmitry Urbanovich and Qinghai Pan, Schulman controlled over 60% of the total chips.
In a no-limit hold’em hand, Urbanovich went all in with Ax9x, but Schulman held AxQx. Schulman’s hand held, eliminating Urbanovich in third place for $109,200. Pan, facing a significant chip deficit, experienced misfortune on the final hand. Schulman had secured the low in Omaha Hi-Lo and was drawing to both a flush and an over card on the turn, ultimately completing his hand on the river to win the tournament.
Pan received $151,200 for finishing second. Schulman, whose career earnings now exceed $25.4 million according to The Hendon Mob, earned $235,200 and further cemented his status as one of poker’s all-time greats.
Schulman joins Chino Rheem (Event #1), Justin Liberto (Event #2), and Ryan Hoenig (Event #3) as winners in the PGT Mixed Games Series. Event #5: $15,200 Big Bet Mix began on Saturday.
