Friedberg Dodges Bullets, Baby

A player in the hijack seat opened to 2,000 and another player in the cutoff flatted before Jon Friedberg three-bet to 7,300 from the big blind. The original raiser almost immediately moved all in, the player in the cutoff got out of the way and Friedberg went into the tank.

Friedberg was covered by his opponent, and counted his stack (~28,000 chips) before finally folding.

"I had 'em," his opponent sighed, turning over two aces.

Friedberg nodded in acknowledgement, and although his stack took a hit, he still has his tournament life.
