Friedman Catches a Bluff

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Limit Hold'em

Matthew Wood bet from the big blind on a {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board, only to be met with a raise from Adam Friedman in the cutoff. Wood made it three bets, and Friedman called.

Wood bet one final time on the {9-Clubs} river, and Friedman looked unhappy, but made the call regardless. Wood tabled {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a busted flush and straight draw.

"King-high?" Friedman said upon seeing Wood's hand. He then tabled his {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for the winner.

Mizrachi Outkicks Friedman

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Robert Mizrachi opened from the hijack and Adam Friedman called in the big blind. The flop came {7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Friedman checked. Mizrachi fired a continuation-bet and Friedman called. The turn was {6-Clubs} and Friedman check-called another bet from Mizrachi. The river was {10-Spades} and both players checked.

"Ace-high," Friedman said.

Mizrachi tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} to show the nut-no pair and Friedman nodded as he pushed his cards forward to the muck.

Friedman Wheels Out Hastings

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Brian Hastings
Brian Hastings

Stud Hi-Lo

Brian Hastings got his last chips in on sixth street against Adam Friedman.

"You're ahead right now," Friedman told Hastings. "I got aces and a wheel draw."

Brian Hastings: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} / {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Adam Friedman: {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} / {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Hastings spiked his last card up on the felt, but the {9-Hearts} didn't improve his tens-up any further. Friedman turned over the {4-Hearts} to complete his wheel, and Hastings and Friedman wished each other luck before Hastings made his leave.

Ivey and Wood Going Opposite Directions

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw

Matthew Wood opened from the button and Phil Ivey defended his big blind. Ivey drew one and Wood traded two. Ivey then check-called a continuation-bet from Wood.

On the second draw, Ivey took one and Wood stood pat. Ivey check-called again. Final draws again went one and pat and both players checked the river.

"Ten-eight," announced Wood.

Ivey turned over {10-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and won the pot with his ten-seven.

Martin Gets The Right Man Out to Double

Level 14 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Adam Friedman raised to 20,000 on the button, and Jesse Martin three-bet shoved for 111,000 in the small blind. Robert Mizrachi quickly called in the big blind, prompting Friedman to flash {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and say, "Pretty quick call, eh?" before folding.

Jesse Martin: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Robert Mizrachi: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Martin found the last two jacks in the deck on the {5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop, and Mizrachi failed to find a ten on the {q-Clubs} turn or {a-Hearts} river. Meanwhile, Friedman could only grin at the board, as his ace-jack ended up making a full house.
