Friedman Calls Down Verkaik
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We didn't see the hand, but defending champ Adam Friedman informed us that he had just won a healthy 14,000 pot. According to him, he started with pocket fours and failed to improve as Nick Verkaik, who finished 13th in this very event last year for $14,009, fired each street.
Nonetheless, Friedman called him down and was right. His fours were good and he scooped the pot. Making tough calls is certainly one way to become champion.
