Lousy Pair No Good

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo

Adam Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {x-}
Lyle Berman: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} / {x-}

The bring in was {3-Diamonds} and Adam Friedman completed with his seven. Lyle Berman called and the two continued heads up.

Friedman check-called a bet from Berman on fourth street. He proceeded to check-call another bet on fifth street. After the bet, Berman had too many chips in front of him and Friedman informed him of such.

"You only need forty (thousand)," Friedman said.

"I like my hand that much!" said Berman.

"I bet you do. Go ahead, then," continued Friedman as he checked sixth street. Berman fired again and Friedman called. Friedman checked in the dark on seventh street as Berman verbally went through his thought process of trying to figure out what Friedman could have. He debated between two pair and a flush draw as there was no opportunity for Friedman to have the low.

Eventually, Berman tossed in another bet and Friedman quickly called.

"One lousy pair of eights," Berman said as he showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

"No good," Friedman retorted, turning over {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for two pair and taking down the pot.
