Nice Table Change

Enjoying the Hobo life
Enjoying the Hobo life
It's weird how fate works and little changes and choices made can radically change your path in life. I'm not getting too deep here just leading into an Erik Friberg hand.

He was sat upstairs in a cramped table in the corner on less than 20,000 most probably realising he needs to get things going. Suddenly the TD comes over and says the table is being broken. Friberg is moved to another table upstairs, less than 20 foot away. He gets there just in time to receive a hand and before you know it he's all-in and doubling up to 41,000!

When I reached the table the flop was out and read {7-Spades} {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. Friberg checked before his opponent in this hand bet. Friberg then raised the pot and his opponent moved all-in. The call was made so we were at showdown and the cards were on their backs:

Friberg had {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}.

The turn came {5-Diamonds} and river {6-Hearts}. His opponent made a straight but the turn made a full house for Friberg and he happily stacks his new chips. This new table must feel like home already.
