Friedman then completed and called a raise by Gaspard, who bet fourth and received a call. Friedman then bet his lead on fifth to seventh street and two quick calls by Gaspard were followed by a reluctant one.

Friedman didn't table his down cards but instead pointed to the other side of the table.

"You can't beat two fives? Oh wow, he is done ..." Gaspard joked to his rail while flashing his . He then followed that up with a "I don't like your odds now ... I don't like your odds."

In the next hand thereafter, a similar pattern emerged but Gaspard folded a pair of fours this time with his open cards showing against the of Friedman.
