Perry Friedman is siting at Orange 76 -- right by our press box. His parents have two seats on the rail right in front of the press box so that they can keep close tabs on their son (and also engage in friendly conversation with any passers-by).

They were delighted to see Friedman increase his count to 26,000 in a hand in which he check-called 2,000 on a flop of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

. When the turn came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

Friedman and his opponent both checked. That induced Friedman to bet 3,000 on the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

river. He was called and showed down the winner, {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

.

A few hands later Friedman busted a player. Playing {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

, Friedman flopped {9-?}

{9-?}

{9-?}

{8-?}

against his opponents pocket aces.
