Friedman's Out a Buck

"Didn't you win a bracelet last year?" a player at the table asked two-time WSOP gold bracelet winner Adam Friedman.

Friedman replied, "Yeah."

"Gimme a dollar so I can tip the waitress." A bemused Friedman reached into his pocket and tossed the gentleman a dollar, to the delight of his tablemates.

A few hands later, after an early position raise, Sal Busacca three-bet to 4,500 in middle position, and the benefactor of Friedman's generosity four-bet to 10,000 next to act. Action folded back to Busacca, who called.

Busacca bet 11,500 on the {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, then snap-called when his opponent jammed for 30,000.

Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Sal Busacca: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

A cooler flop left Busacca's opponent drawing to a lone out, that wouldn't materialize on the {3-Clubs} turn or {6-Clubs} river.

"I got nobody to pick on me now! And I'm out the dollar!" Friedman said with a chuckle.

"You're welcome," Busacca told Friedman.
