Friedman Folds to Negreanu

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Big O

Adam Friedman opened to 3,000, and with the action on Daniel Negreanu on the button, he announced a pot raise and placed 10,800 into the middle. Friedman began deliberating, and after roughly two minutes, he called, leaving himself just 11,000 behind.

The dealer spread a {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, and Friedman checked to Negreanu, who dropped a stack of pink 5,000-denomination chips into the middle to effectively put Friedman all in.

As Friedman entered the tank, Negreanu spoke up, saying, "You see that? That's the face of someone that doesn't have a nine!"

A few minutes went by, and Friedman added, "I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way you don't have aces here."

Another minute or two went by, and Friedman called the clock on himself. The supervisor came over and gave Friedman 30 seconds to come up with a decision.

Eventually that decision was a fold.

"I'll make you sleep better tonight!" announced Negreanu as he showed Friedman his {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}.

"I'm not sure how many people would fold in this spot," added Friedman. As both players continued to discuss the hand, Friedman hinted that he had {A-}{K-}{K-}{5-}{2-}.

Crain Eliminates Kassela

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Badeucey

Just after losing a decent-sized pot to Jared Bleznick, Eric Crain check-raised Frank Kassela after the first draw and patted. Kassela, fresh off his third bracelet in the 2-7 single draw event, took one and called off his remaining monies before both players patted the end. Crain announced an eight-eight and showed {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Kassela said it was a scooper.

Negreanu Folds River

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Big O

From under the gun, Daniel Negreanu limped in, and an opponent on his direct left raised to 4,000. The blinds folded, and Negreanu called as the flop landed {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Negreanu checked, his opponent bet 9,500 and Negreanu called. The turn of the {7-Hearts} went check-check, and the river landed the {2-Diamonds}. Negreanu checked, his opponent bet 20,000, and Negreanu began some friendly banter.

"I had you until that card. I thought you might have ace-deuce and the nut flush. So your flush is better then my flush," stated Negreanu before eventually folding.

"I had everything!" Negreanu's opponent said as he tabled his {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

"I had a queen-high flush and a pair of tens." added Negreanu.

Cousineau Eliminated by Baker

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Tony Cousineau moved in under the gun for 8,500, and Andrey Zaichenko called in the small blind. David "ODB" Baker shoved in the big blind to put Zaichenko at risk for his remaining 28,000 if he called, but the Russian mucked.

Cousineau: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Baker: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Zaichenko said he folded ace-queen. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} to improve Baker to trips and a winner.

The flop fell {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, and Crain checked to Kassela, who bet 2,000. Crain check-raised to 4,000, and Kassela released his hand.

Bellande Busts

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

On a final board reading {J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Jean-Robert Bellande was already all in on a previous street as the two active players continued in side action.

Brandon Cantu's opponent checked to him, and Cantu bet 15,000, which was enough to effectively put him all in.

Eventually Cantu's opponent folded, and Cantu was pushed the side pot while he tabled his {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

Bellande revealed {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and exited the tournament area as Cantu moved over 130,000 in chips.

"This Time, He Got Owned"

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

The player in the small blind bet 16,300 into a pot of about 25,000 on a completed board of {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Mike Matusow stood up and was thinking things over in the big blind. He grabbed enough chips to call and seemed to be leaning that way as he continued to think. He eventually fired in the calling chips, and his opponent just nodded and showed {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

"This time, he got owned," Matusow said with pleasure, rolling over {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. "Boom! Payback's a bitch."

Vitch Eliminates Ribak

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

From the cutoff, Kobi Ribak moved all in for 18,100, and Chris Vitch moved all in from the small blind, isolating himself against the at-risk Ribak.

Ribak: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Vitch: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Ribak was eliminated.

Kings for Friedman

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Adam Friedman opened with a raise under the gun, only to have Zachary Freeman three-bet next to act to 7,000. The action folded back to Friedman, and he moved all in for 16,000, with Freeman calling.

Friedman: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Freeman: {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to ensure the double for Friedman.
