Adam Friedman bet out on fourth street and received a call from John Monnette. Friedman fired again on fifth and Monnette counted out his chips before pushing a raise to the middle. Friedman re-raised and just like that Monnette was all in.
Friedman had showing on his board and flipped up in the hole. Monnette rolled his eyes, tabling as his hole cards. Monnette managed to make two pair, aces and nines, but still could not beat the trip fours of Friedman. Monnette will collect $109,444.

Friedman brought it in, Brunson completed, and Friedman called. Brunson led out on fourth street, Friedman called, and on fifth street, Friedman check-called a bet. When Friedman paired on sixth, he bet out, and Brunson called.

We caught up on fourth street to see Todd Brunson bet out against John Monnette. Monnette called and proceeded to do the same on fifth and sixth. Both players checked on seventh and Brunson flipped up for a pair of nines.
"I cant believe I can't f***ing beat a pair of nines," remarked Monnette as he slapped his hand into the muck and the pot was pushed to Brunson.
Ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson is hear to root on his son Todd. Todd is in search of his second WSOP gold bracelet - his first came in 2005, when he won a $2,500 Omaha Hi/Lo event for $255,945. This is Todd's second final table of the 2012 WSOP - he finished seventh in Event 14: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better.
Doyle's 2012 WSOP debut was short-lived when he played in this event, but it's awfully nice to see him here cheering on his son.
Both Adam Friedman and John Monnette checked fourth street and Monnette bet out on fifth. Friedman raised and Monnette tossed out a call. They both opted to check sixth and Monnette fired one last bet on seventh. Friedman called but mucked his hand when Monnette flipped up for a flush which was good enough to scoop.
The limits are getting very high (there are only 50 big bets in play) and the play is tightening up considerably.
