Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Limit Hold'em

The action was picked up as Adam Friedman moved all-in on a board of {8-}{3-}{2-}{j-} and was quickly called by Max Pescatori.

The cards were turned face-up and it was Friedman's ace-high {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} against the pocket {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} of Pescatori's.

The river card was a blank {6-}, and Pescatori was awarded the pot and that eliminated Friedman from the tournament.
