Never one to give up, Adam Friedman has been grinding a very short stack through the last level or so and is down to a nub but refusing to quit.
In a recent hand, he was in the big blind with 35,000 chips behind.
After Greg Mascio raised in the cutoff and Cody Espeseth called on the button, Friedman hopefully tossed in a call, leaving himself just 20,000 behind.
On the flop, Mascio bet and Espeseth folded.
Friedman was then pained with a decision that would essentially commit him, with a call costing 15,000 of his last 20,000 chips. After over a minute of deliberation, he hesitated briefly but then tossed his cards to the dealer.
"Good fold?," asked Friedman. Mascio nodded as he gathered the chips.
On the next hand, Friedman was in the small blind, and with a raise from Frankie O'Dell and three calls behind him, he couldn't believe the cards he had in the hole and, after more deliberation, opted to fold despite the money that was available in the pot.
The five-time WSOP champ is still hanging around, hoping to rebuild his short stack once again.
Action picked up with Brad Ruben getting his chips in the middle against Mauricio Ferreira Pais. Ruben only had a couple of bets, and was looking to spin it up starting with this pot.

Shortly afterwards, Josh Turner was also seen heading to the payout counter.
Day 2 of Event #84: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas has reached a finish.

Taking place in Bally's Event Center for Day 2, the H.O.R.S.E. players were surrounded by the electric energy of the World Series Main Event at the main stage. Some players were not a fan of the distracting sounds that come with that spectacle, and others loved having the room's energy for the day. They will be near the spotlight again tomorrow as players in the Main Event will return to the main stage tomorrow as well.
Not everyone was lucky enough to find a bag, early casualties were Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, Eli Elezra, Allen Kessler, and Scott Seiver. Eric Kurtzman felt the pain of being the stone bubble when his two pair wasn't good enough for the high or low of a stud eight or better hand. Later in the day saw the falls of Adam Friedman, Brad Ruben, and David Williams.
Players did reach the final three tables redraw before the end of the night and will come back tomorrow at 2 p.m. local time in Bally's Event Center once more.
That does it for today's action, be sure to tune back into PokerNews tomorrow to see who can become the final mixed-game champion of the summer here at the 2022 World Series of Poker.
