Adam Friedman Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,740)

Nível 28

Big O

Chip Leader Mark Erickson raised to 90,000 in the cutoff and was met with a pot-sized bet from Adam Friedman on the short stack.

Friedman was left with 25,000 after Erickson just called and on the flop, the rest of it went into the middle to put the five-time bracelet winner at risk.

Adam Friedman:
Mark Erickson:

Erickson's queen had out-flopped Friedman and a second on the turn sunk Friedman further with only his flush draw or a jack for a straight to save him.

The river was neither of those and a frustrating and disappointing day for Friedman unfortunately came to an end shy of the unofficial final table.

MattHansen

Nível 31

But her opponent, Mike Gao, also had , so a chop pot seemed inevitable.
