Friedman Doubles Through Berk
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After a limp by Jed Friedman on the button, Michael Berk moved all in from the big blind, sending Friedman into the tank. After over a minute, Friedman made the call, putting his tournament life at risk.
Jed Friedman: K♣10♠
Michael Berk: A♣7♥
Berk was ahead with his ace-high, but the flop of 9♣K♠2♥ immediately pulled Friedman into the lead with his king and the runout of 9♥4♠ changed nothing to win him the double.
