Chip leader Adam Friedman completed and saw calls from Matthew Valeo and George Alexander.

Friedman fired bets on fourth, fifth and sixth street. Valeo got out of the way, but Alexander called to get to the final betting round.

Friedman, with a pair of aces on his board, checked, and Alexander did the same.

Friedman showed aces and fives for two pair, but Alexander made a flush to take the pot. The latter stated he might have given Friedman a bit too much respect, insinuating he possibly missed out on a bit of value on seventh street.
