Half is Plenty Good for Friedman
When six people limp into a pot, getting half isn't just a moral victory -- it actually improves your stack. Perry Friedman was one of six limpers to a flop of 
. After one check and a bet, Friedman called. Three others folded before the initial checker also called.
On the turn 
the action went check and bet again, but this time Friedman raised. The player in between called before the original bettor re-raised. Friedman and the third player both called.
Each player put in one bet on the 
river. Friedman showed 
for a wheel; his aggressive opponent showed 
for a flush; the third player mucked.
