Friedman Doubles Through Hodge

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Adam Friedman just doubled through Mark Hodge in a monster pot where both players had two pair. Unfortunately for Hodge, his {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} on the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs} board was no good, as Friedman turned a better two pair with {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The river was a {j-}, no help to Hodge.

Friedman Gets Three Streets from Hodge

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Mark Hodge defended his big blind from a cutoff min-raise by Adam Friedman, and he checked a {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop.

"That's a good flop for my hand," Friedman said as he bet 1,600 again. "That's a real good flop for my hand."

Hodge called, and he checked the {k-Spades} turn.

"King," Friedman said. "Just keeps getting better and better."

He bet 2,300 and was again called. The river brought a {2-Diamonds}, and Hodge checked and saw Friedman fire a third bullet, 3,375.

"There's one hand I can beat," Hodge said. "I'm calling in case you have that hand."

Friedman showed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, and Hodge showed {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} before mucking, saying he had hoped Friedman had {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Schoultz Runs a Wheel

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Adam Friedman had a raise to 2,775 in front of him in middle position but was facing considerable action behind him. Se Min Oh had shoved from the button for 10,700, and Michael Schoultz call in the blinds. Friedman shrugged and flicked his cards muckward.

Oh: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Schoultz: {a-}{k-}

A {q-}{4-}{5-} flop didn't help Schoultz, but a {3-} on the turn and a {2-} on the river meant he made a straight. Friedman said he folded jacks.

Hodge Doubles Up

Mark Hodge
Mark Hodge

Mark Hodge bet 6,500 from the small blind on an {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} board, and his opponent on the button called. Hodge checked the {2-Clubs} river, and his opponent asked how much he had. It looked to be about 21,000, and the player said he was all in. Hodge leaned back and asked for a count, and the shove covered him. He slid forward his stack about a minute later.

"Ace-high," Hodge's opponent said softly. Hodge indicated he wanted to see, and the player showed {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Hodge showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and took the pot with top two.

Zekus Takes Four-Bet Pot

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Brian Zekus opened for 1,200 in middle position, and the player in the small blind reraised small to 2,500. Zekus four-bet to 5,200, and his opponent called. The flop came {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Zekus bet 4,600 after his opponent checked. That was enough to take it down.

Davis Pays Off Friedman

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Greg Davis checked and called 2,375 from Adam Friedman on a {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} board. The river was a {4-Hearts}, and Davis, who was in the big blind, checked. Friedman came out with a much bigger bet, 6,875. Davis counted out his chips to see what he would have left before making the call.

Friedman turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the second-nut flush.
