Adam Friedman Eliminated In 3rd Place ($121,437)

Adam Friedman Eliminated In 3rd Place ($121,437)

Hold'em:

Adam Friedman pushed his last 135,000 into the middle and was called by Michael Chow.

Showdown:

Friedman: {3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Chow: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Friedman was in very bad shape after his desperation shove and would need lady luck to smile on him if he was to survive this all-in confrontation. The flop fell {9-Clubs}[{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Mrs. Luck was nowhere to be found. Friedman stood up and packed his things, offering handshake to Chow in a show of class. Chow returned the gesture but it was apparent he wanted to see a brick on the turn to cement the win before he did any celebrating.

The turn card fell {5-Clubs} and Friedman was offered a glimmer of hope. He could now catch a six and a six only to make complete his gutshot straight draw and remain in contention. His supporters began hollering for a six as the dealer burned and turned.

River: {2-Hearts}

With that, Friedman's run had come to an end and he was eliminated in third place, earning $121,437 for his efforts. Chow climbed to 835,000 with the win and is still vastly outchipped by Aaron Steury as we begin heads-up play.
