Friedman Feels the Payne

"Well, there goes the first bullet," World Series of Poker bracelet winner and HPT champ Adam Friedman said, marking the first time he's ever busted a MSPT event.

We missed the hand, but Friedman was kind enough to fill us in on the details. According to him he raised to 1,000 under the gun with {a-}{a-} and Ken Payne three-bet to 2,500 from the button. Friedman responded with a four-bet to 5,200, Payne called (even though he said he knew Friedman had aces... at least according to Friedman), and the flop came down {8-}{5-}{2-} with two diamonds.

Both players checked, and then Friedman put out a bet on the {K-Diamonds} turn. Payne called and ended up moving all in after Friedman checked when a second {K-} appeared on the river. Friedman called off with his aces and kings, but it was no good as Payne had gotten extremely luck to make trips with {a-}{k-}.

Friedman said he'll be back, though he's not sure if he'll jump in later tonight or wait until tomorrow. Time will tell.
