The hand against Berman went all seven streets, with Ivey rolling over a club flush to take it down.

Friedman was seemingly in agony as he looked at his hand and dropped a few expletives in the middle of his verbalized thought process. He talked about the strength of his hand and what possibilities could show up in Shakerchi's.
Eventually, he decided to make the hero fold, doing so face up and tabling 
for the missed nut low draw and trip jacks with an ace kicker. He asked Shakerchi to show one time. Shakerchi thought about it and decided to show one card, the case 
.
"That should show you all you needed to know," he said as he raked in the pot.
