Friedman Chipping Up

Perry-tastic

In a battle of the blinds, Perry Friedman limped only to call a raise from the big blind.

The flop fell down {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, and it was checked by both players. The turn landed the {4-Hearts}, and Friedman led out for 3,000 before being faced with an all in reraise from his opponent. Friedman then stated, "I'm probably going to get quartered, but I call," and threw the necessary chips to make the call.

Friedman: {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Spades}

When the river fell the {6-Spades}, Friedman stated, "Alright, I get three quarters," and raked in the pot to move to over 30,000 as he crippled his opponent.
