Friedmutter Takes His Stand
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
With the action folded around to his hijack seat, Douglas Friedmutter open-shoved for his last 33,200. Right next door, Melih Birdal reraised all in over the top, and the two men were heads up as the cards were turned up:
Friedmutter:
Birdal:
"Well, I got outs," Friedmutter said in a good case of foreshadowing. The dealer ripped off a flop to pull him into a big lead, and the turn and river locked up his double. He's up to 75,000 now with many thanks to that timely ace.
