Cowboy Orgy

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

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 {9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. 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 {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} - but his opponent flipped {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} 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..."
