July 9,2012 :  SHULMAN SCION WINS HIS SECOND WORLD SERIES OF POKER BRACELET (Update)
 
$294,321 pay day lifts Nick's career earnings above a million
 
On Saturday 26-year-old Nick Shulman reprised his 2009 victory in the WSOP No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball World Championship, taking down the same $10,000 buy-in event in this year's series for his second bracelet and a winner's prize of $294,321.
 
101 players entered for the event, number 60 on the schedule and one of the last chances to achieve bracelet status in this year's 43rd World Series of Poker.
 
Shulman faced and survived a threat-laden final table of Michael Wattel, George Danzer, Ben Parker, Ashton Griffin, John Juanda (who won the event in 2011), Bob Bright, Ali Eslami and Larry Wright, ending up in a brief but intense heads up duel with fellow bracelet-holder Michael Wattel in which Shulman prevailed.
