Shulman’s CPPT Venetian $5,000 no-limit hold’em main event win in July of 2013 gave her $292,966 on the season and was enough to bring her to the top of the leaderboard, ahead of Season I no. 2 money winner Ray Dehkharghani, who took home $235,931 for winning the CPPT Wynn Classic $5,000 main event. Shulman widened the gap in the earnings when she finished 19th in the CPPT Choctaw $1,500 no-limit hold’me main event, adding an additional $9,343 to her name.
