From middle position, Prahlad Friedman raised to an unknown amount. Galen Hall reraised to 1,400 from the cutoff seat, and action folded back to Friedman. He made the call and then drew one card. Hall also took one card. After the draw, Friedman checked, and Hall fired 1,900. Friedman gave it up, and Hall scooped the pot.
We arrived at the end of the hand to find Nick Schulman facing a bet of 1,000 from his opponent. Schulman sat riffling chips for a moment and then peeled a single yellow chip off of his stack. He flung it forward and his opponent responded by shaking his head.
Schulman fanned for a queen-jack low and his opponent mucked his hand.

We've spotted a few new faces in the field, including two-time NL 2-7 Single Draw bracelet winner Nick Schulman. Schulman won his first WSOP bracelet back in 2009 when he found himself at the $10K NL 2-7 final table. Schulman was joined by the likes of David Benyamine, Archie Karas, John Juanda, and Steve Sung on the quest for that bracelet. In the end, Schulman overcame Ville Wahlbeck heads up to claim $279,751 in first-place prize money.
Three years later, Schulman once again rose to the top of a stacked field to claim a seat at the final table of this event. That year, Schulman outlasted a final table of Bob Bright, Juanda, Asthon Griffin, George Danzer, and Mike Wattel to earn his second bracelet and $294,321.
Schulman continued to show his proficiency in draw games this year, racking up a final table appearance in Event #5: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship. Schulman ultimately finished in 4th place, pocketing him a payday of $99,015.
Mike Watson came in for a raise to 300 from early position and Mike Wattel made it 1,200 to go from the next seat over. Action came back around to Watson and he called.
Watson pulled one new card at the draw while Wattel opted to stand pat. Watson came out swinging for 2,500 and Wattel tossed out a call. Watson fanned and took down the pot. Watson picked up the chips and now has about 36,200.
We arrived at the table to find George Danzer contemplating his action after Paul Volpe moved all in post-draw. From what we can gather, Danzer had pushed 4,500 into the middle and Volpe shipped over the top. Ultimately, Danzer slapped his hand into the muck and Volpe was pushed a sizable pot early.
