Picking action up on fifth street with several bets in the middle already, Phil Ivey called a bet from Adam Friedman, then on sixth street after Friedman bet again, Ivey came with a raise, which Friedman called after a brief pause.
Friedman then checked seventh street and Ivey continued betting, which sent Friedman deep into the tank. The three-time $10,000 Dealer's Choice champion apologized to his tablemates as he spent over three minutes contemplating a decision.
Ultimately he chose to preserve that last bet and fold, telling Ivey, "I want to know that one later".

Adam Friedman:

After losing a recent pot that dropped him under 70,000 chips, Phil Ivey has gotten healthier again thanks to a pot with Adam Friedman.
Picking the action up on fifth street, Friedman bet with a pair of sixes on board and was called by Ivey. After Friedman double paired his board on sixth he bet again, but Ivey was undeterred and called.
Friedman then checked seventh street and Ivey went into the tank. Ultimately he decided to check.
Friedman declared "queens and jacks", showing jacks in the hole to improve his two pair.
Ivey however showed his aces in the hole for a better two pair with another deuce in the hole as well to take the pot and boost his stack back to 200,000.
