Friedman Rivers the Nuts
Level 14
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Eli Elezra had just folded the overbet by Roman Yitzhaki on the 
river and Dan Cates then raised to 20,000 from under the gun. Yitzhaki and Adam Friedman in the big blind called to see a flop of 
on which Friedman checked, Cates bet 25,000 and received two calls.
The 
turn was checked to Yitzhaki and he bet 65,000 for Friedman to call and Cates to fold. Friedman checked the 
river and Yitzhaki checked behind to get shown 
for the nut straight by Friedman. He flashed an ace and Friedman immediately said "good check."
