Family Story
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
A rather unusual hand unfolded at a table over in Amazon just now and it was a group effort to recount what went down.
It began with a 500 open from Shaun Daniels in early position and Allyn Shulman and Gabriel Andrade flatted in middle position and the small blind respectively.
On the 
rainbow flop, it checked to Shulman who bet 900. Back to Andrade and he upped it to 3,100, which Daniels called but Shulman folded to.
The turn was a 
and there were still no flush draws out there. Andrade barreled for 5,000, which Daniels tank-called and before the dealer could deal the river card, Andrade turned over 
, saying that he was taking himself out of the hand so that he couldn't bluff anymore.
Giving PokerNews some background to his decision, Andrade explained that the table had been extremely active with both the straddle and double straddle already utilised at this early stage and the rest of the table backed him up.

Friedman Doubles
Level 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
There was an early position open to 600 and a three-bet from Pasquale Dicegle to 1,900 in middle postion. Perry Friedman called in the big blind and the inital raiser got out of the way, taking them heads up to a 
flop.
Friedman check-raised over Dicegle's 1,600 continuation, making it 4,100 to call, which he did. The turn was the 
and Friedman bet again, making it an even 10,000 to play. Dicegle clicked over, which was enough to set Friedman all in and when he called, they flipped their cards on their backs.
Perry Friedman: 
Pasqale Dicegle: 
"Wow" said Friedman, when he saw the bad news that his flopped set was behind to Dicegle's turned straight. "Pair the board" he asked before the river card came. The poker Gods obliged, with a 
and Friedman doubled while Dicegle is left with less than 10,000 in play.
