Friedman Felted

Level 3

Stud 8/b

Adam Friedman finished in 3rd place in an event just a couple days ago, but he won't be repeating that deep run here today.

Friedman got himself all in for his last 325 after fourth street, and he was in a multi-way pot with Justin Bonomo, John Cernuto, Jordan Morgan, and an unknown gentleman we'll call Player 5.

Friedman: (x-x) / {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / (x)
Bonomo: (x-x) / {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs} / (x)
Cernuto: (x-x) / {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} / (x)
Morgan: (x-x) / {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} / (x)
Player 5: (x-x) / {4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / (x)

Everybody put in one big bet on fifth street and another one on sixth. On seventh, Bonomo finally ducked out, but the other three live players all put in one more bet apiece.

Morgan: {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} / {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Cernuto: {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Player 5: MUCK

Morgan was in front for the low, and Cernuto's trip eights had the lead for the high half. Friedman said he was drawing live to scoop, though, and he showed his {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} / {4-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / (x) as he squeezed his last card. He needed it to be a deuce or a seven but the {9-Spades} flipped over, ending Friedman's day.

Cernuto is up to 11,000 now, while Morgan rebounds to 5,600.
