Perry Bad Luck

[user46392]

Oh well.

A massive pot has propelled Perry Friedman out of the tournament, and propelled early Day 2 chip leader Peter Rho back into the lead.

Friedman raised to 15,400 in late position, only for Rho to make it 43,000 from the small blind. Friedman pushed, Rho called, and they flipped their cards.

Friedman: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

Rho:

{9-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

Flop: door card {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

... then

{J-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

Turn:

{9-Clubs}

Rho made quads, and it was all over for Friedman before the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

river. "At least I made the next pay jump!" he said cheerfully as he exited in 71st place.
