Tournament Report
NICK SCHULMAN IS THE 2005 CHAMPION!
TAKES RECORD PRIZE OF $2,167,500!
Nick Schulman, a resident of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, took
First Place in the 2005 World Poker Finals $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em event exactly two
months after his 21st birthday. The youngest player to win a WPT event also won a record
prize for his victory; Nick takes home $2,167,500 which includes a $25,500 entry
into the WPT Championship event in Las Vegas.
Six players sat down a little after 4 PM and it was not long before Lenny Cortellino
was the first to depart. The Lewiston, Maine, resident called Tony Licastro's all-in
with pocket 8's. When Tony turned up pocket 10's and, with no help from the board,
Lenny was the sixth place winner of $276,000. One week ago, Lenny had won the $5000
No-Limit event and, with his finish today, he collected the Best Overall Player Award for
the 2005 World Poker Finals. Lyle Berman, the Hall-of-Famer from Minneapolis, MN,
was in 5th place when his AJ all-in was called by Nick with AK. Lyle was hoping to finish
higher than his son, Bradley, who was 4th last year; Lyle took home $354,000. With
the blinds going up quickly, Allen Cunningham, Las Vegas, NV, was all-in with J10 but
Nick was calling immediately with K's and Allen had to settle for 4th place money of
$483,000; not a bad day's work! Bill Gazes hung in for 3rd. He lost a particularly difficult
pot with pocket A's when Tony flopped a straight with a K10. In the end, his K8
could not compete with Nick's AQ and he took $759,000 back to Miami Beach, FL.
The last two of 783 players who started the event were the chip leaders entering
the final table. Nick had maintained his dominate position throughout the day and, only
four hands into heads-up play, the competition was over. Tony Licastro, who won one of
the last Act II's and then won his seat in the final Act III, had 82; he went all-in when he
turned two pair. But, at the same time, Nick caught a flush and Tony was in 2nd place.
Tony had turned his $225 investment into $1,035,000!
The youngest player to win a WPT Championship event was now the first player
to take home a prize over $2,000,000 in a $10,000 event!
