With a pot of around 25,000 already in the middle, Jon Friedberg was tanking on the river before firing out a 8,500 bet with the board reading . His opponent grimaced a bit before counting out the bet, having only around 18,000 back if he were to make the call.

Finally, with a certain amount of resignation, he threw the chips into the middle and Friedberg turned over - but his opponent flipped for a chop.

Friedberg's foe said, "I'd have been happy if you'd shown me aces but unhappy if you'd flipped ace-king..."
