Allyn Shulman's Shove Makes Weber Wonder

The significance of the bounties — worth $2,500 — definitely produce some interesting situations as well as perhaps some alternative strategic decisions from both bounty players and those seeking to earn those prizes.

They definitely make Level 1 of a Day 1 more interesting than it normally might be, as demonstrated recently in a hand involving one of the bounty players — Allyn Shulman — and Michael Weber.

Finally Weber folds his hand, showing the [Ad] as he does, and eventually Shulman shows her hand as well — [2h][2d] for a set of deuces. "It was a good bet," says Weber. "Made me tank."
