Friedberg Knocks Out Two

Jon Friedberg just eliminated two players on successive hands.

On the first, Friedberg called a short-stacked player's all-in with pocket eights. His opponent showed A-6, and Friedberg's hand held up.

On the second, he found himself in a blind-vs.-blind battle with another shortie. The table folded around to Friedberg, who raised to 20,000 from small blind. The big blind called with his last 18,000. Friedberg showed {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, while his opponent had {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The board came {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, and Friedberg had claimed another victim.

He's now up to 180,000.
