Compagno Crushes Friedman on Flop

Level 22

Hold'em:

We missed the preflop betting but Paolo Compagno got it all in on the turn with the board reading {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Adam Friedman decided to make the call, trying to eliminate the vulnerable Italian pro.

Friedman tabled the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and his flopped two pair appeared to be a strong holding, but Compagno had also flopped two pair with his {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. After fading jacks on the turn and river, which came {2-Clubs} and {4-Diamonds} respectively, Compagno had scored a much needed double up to 290,000. Friedman dropped to 710,000 after the loss but still holds a healthy stack.
