Gaspard Pays Off Friedman Twice

Level 21
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Jean Gaspard: {x-}{x-} / {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Spades} / {x-}

Jean Gaspard completed with a queen and Adam Friedman called with a nine. Gaspard bet fourth and fifth street to earn a call and then checked sixth, as did Friedman. Gaspard check-called seventh and was shown the {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair of nines by Friedman.

"Nines as well, ace kicker ..." Gaspard told his rail as he sent the cards into the muck.

What followed were half a dozen hands that didn't go past fourth street including one in which Gaspard was the bring-in with the {k-Clubs} and Friedman folded the {a-Spades} while adding "tight is right" with a smirk on the face.

Jean Gaspard: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} / {x-}
Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / {x-}

Friedman then completed and Gaspard called. On fourth street, Friedman bet and called a raise by Gaspard, who then bet his lead on fifth and received a call. They checked sixth and Gaspard bet seventh street, triggering a raise by Friedman.

While grabbing his cards and studying them with a smile on the face, Gaspard "tanked" the longest in the heads-up duel so far for around ten seconds before paying it off. Friedman announced a flush and tabled the {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} in order to further increase his lead.
