Friedman Firing Up

A tad less than 100 players already populate the event room here at the Tropicana Evansville, where the tournament is being held. The most recognizable among them is Adam Friedman, an Ohio native who made the short trek to Southern Indiana. Friedman has claimed more than $1.6 million in tournament winnings while collecting a World Series of Poker bracelet on his poker journey. Friedman has also won numerous smaller tournaments in the area, and he's looking to add another to his resume by notching his first Mid-States Poker Tour cash.
