As the weekend insanity starts here in the Amazon Room, Full Tilt Poker claims it’s third bracelet at the 2009 World Series of Poker. Nick Schulman was the last player standing in the $10,000 No Limit Deuce to Seven World Championship. He outlasted a stacked final table that included John Juanda, Michael Binger, Archie Karas, and David Benyamine along with two players already sporting 2009 WSOP bracelets, Steve Sung and Ville Wahlbeck.

Schulman outlasted 95 other players to claim his first WSOP title. He burst on the live poker scene as soon as he could play in a casino, winning the WPT World Poker Finals at the fresh age of 21. In just a few short years he has amassed nearly $4,000,000 in career tournament earnings.

He also brings another bracelet to Team Full Tilt.

I also spent some time railing blogger CK31 in the $2,500 Omaha/8 – Stud/8 tournament which she entered via the Battle of the Blogger Tournament series. Her Day 2 table draw was tough when she found herself sitting between Full Tilt players Michael Craig and Scott Clements with Jason Mercier sitting on the other side. CK busted Mercier early in the day and continued to chip up. It was to become a recurring theme thoughout the day, CK would build up her chip stack only to have fellow Full Tilt blogger Michael Craig lay some kind of crazy bad beat on her. Just before a tournament break he was drawing to only one out to scoop and dropped a 7th street Ace o’ Diamonds to drag the 34k pot.

She battled her way and survived to make her first WSOP cash, outlasting Mister Craig in the process, to add cash to her bankroll via the BBT4 Challenge. She’s the first qualifier from the challenge to play and cash in the WSOP, which blogger is next?
