Yes we were gushing about Ville earlier for his first-, second- and third-place finishes already in this year's World Series of Poker, but what we didn't tell you is the guy he just lost to was Nick Schulman.
Nick won the Event 23 Deuce-to-Seven Draw Tournament and we just glossed right over it. Sorry about that Nick. We should have more respect for a Full Tilt Poker pitcher.

2009 WSOP: Schulman Defeats Wahlbeck for #23 2-7 Bracelet
Nick Schulman came into Event #23, World Championship No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw with two WPT titles and over $3.5 million in lifetime tournament winnings. After three days of poker against the best in the business and a tough heads-up match against Finnish final-table machine Ville Wahlbeck, Schulman finally laid claim to the one piece of jewelry every poker player wants: a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
Schulman waited patiently for three days, picking his spots and getting his money in good, and finally he pocketed the coveted bracelet and the $279,742 top prize. Day 3 kicked off with ten survivors spread across two tables, and it wasn’t long before the action picked up. Roland de Wolfe was the day’s first casualty, busting in tenth place ($19,871) when he ran afoul of Ville Wahlbeck. Wahlbeck raised predraw, de Wolfe moved all in over the top, and Wahlbeck called. Both players stood pat, and de Wolfe showed J-10-8-4-2-. His ten was no good as Wahlbeck showed J-8-5-4-3 to send de Wolfe to the rail.
