TJ Shulman (Boynton Beach, FL) is coming off of his best year of tournament poker, earning over $196,000 in 2017.

Walking past Table 5, TJ Shulman and Thomas Gari would be involved in a hand, with the two on the turn (of a board reading J♦ 4♦ 3♠ 7♣).  Piecing together a little of the prior action, we do know that Gari had opened the pot pre-flop, with Shulman calling out of the big blind.  As we approached, Shulman had just checked the turn, and then ended up calling a 2,000 bet from Gari.

The dealer then completed the board with the 2♥, with action going check-check, and Gari tabling his hand (A♦ Q♥).  TJ quickly rolled over 3♣ 6♣, taking down the pot with his pair of threes.  "You've got a lot of nerve," Gari said to TJ, who replied by saying, "What..I know you didn't have it."  The pair continued with a little discussion, which may have stemmed from something we did not witness during the hand.

Regardless of Gari's opinion on how Shulman played the hand, TJ is now the chip leader in the field, becoming the first player to eclipse the century mark.
