Friedberg on a Draw

Jon Friedberg and Lee Markholt tangled in a big pot when Markholt raised to 500 before the flop. Friedberg made the call and the flop came {4-Spades} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Friedberg checked in the small blind and Markholt bet out for 1,200. Friedberg came over the top all in for 3,050 and Markholt made the call.

The hands were flipped and Friedberg had {7-Spades} {8-Spades} for a gut shot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw.

Markholt had {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for top pair top kicker.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and the river spiked the {5-Hearts} giving Friedberg his straight.
