Cernuto Gets Paid

Level 1

Stud

We caught the last half of this pot, walking up as Adam Friedman and John Cernuto were heads-up on fifth street.

Cernuto: (x-x) / {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades} / (x)
Friedman: (x-x) / {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs} / (x)

Cernuto led the betting the whole time we were standing there, getting bets in on fifth, sixth, and seventh streets with Friedman calling him down to the end.

Cernuto showed {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} / {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, and his straight to the queen earns him the pot. With it, Miami John moves up to about 9,800, while Friedman falls back to 4,975.
