Friedman Pulls Further Ahead
Level 21

Gaspard completed and Friedman called to then call a bet by Gaspard on fourth. Gaspard bet fifth for Friedman to raise and receive a call. On sixth, Gaspard check-called a bet with three hearts showing and they checked seventh.
Friedman exposed the 
for just the pair of fives but it was good enough to win the pot.
