Freeman's Pressure Earns the Pot

When we got to the table, Scott Freeman was heads up against his opponent on a board that read {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. There was about 18,000 in the middle, and Freeman, who was under the gun, assembled a bet of 11,800, and slid it into the middle. His opponent made the call, and the dealer brought out hte {5-Spades} on the river.

Freeman took his time in counting his bet, slowly adding chips to the tower for about 30 seconds. He eventually slid out a colorful tower of chips that amounted to 17,800. His opponent tanked for 2-3 minutes while Freeman sat as motionless as a statue. Eventually, his opponent released his hand, causing one of his table mates to say "how do you get away with that?"

After the hand, Freeman, also known as "SCTrojans" online, is now up to 130,000.
