Brentharrington

The river was the and her opponent checked again. This time she made it 45,000 and her opponent called for a third time.

She turned over for a set of twos. Her opponent mucked.

Jim Carroll made a comment about how it was so mean of Freedman to take those chips from the poor guy she beat in the hand and another player chimed in with a bit of a needle.

"Well like eighty percent of them are hers anyway," he said referencing the fact that Freedman had doubled up the player she just beat in an earlier hand.
