Thomas Busts Awad

Mike Patrick

Level 20

Stud

Hani Awad: //
Joseph Thomas: //

Hani Awad got the last of his chips in on fifth street against Joseph Thomas and was in grey shape with two pair of aces and sevens against Thomas' queens and sixes.

However, a six on sixth gave Thomas a full house, and running deuces for Awad couldn't save him, sending another pot to Thomas who is now approaching the one million chip mark.

Friedman Clinging to Life

Mike Patrick

Level 19

Omaha 8 or Better

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Greg Mascio	700,000	210,000
Cody Espeseth	193,000	-93,000
Adam Friedman	12,000	-86,000

Not Su's Day: From Chip Leader to Out in 9th Place

Matt Hansen

Level 19

The deep run paid out $850,675, his only live tournament score of any significance. Still, the high-stakes cash game player told PokerNews in his postgame interview that he was "disappointed" to have been just the second player out at the final table.
