Friedman Finds Fold on River

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Talal Shakerchi opened from the cutoff and received calls from Dario Sammartino on the button and Adam Friedman in the small blind. The three saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Friedman checked to Shakerchi, who made a continuation-bet. Sammartino called and Friedman check-raised. Both Shakerchi and Sammartino called.

The turn came {2-Spades} and Friedman bet. Shakerchi and Sammartino called again. The river was {9-Diamonds} and Friedman bet. Shakerchi put in a raise and Sammartino folded.

Friedman was seemingly in agony as he looked at his hand and dropped a few expletives in the middle of his verbalized thought process. He talked about the strength of his hand and what possibilities could show up in Shakerchi's.

Eventually, he decided to make the hero fold, doing so face up and tabling {a-Spades}{k-}{j-Spades}{3-} for the missed nut low draw and trip jacks with an ace kicker. He asked Shakerchi to show one time. Shakerchi thought about it and decided to show one card, the case {j-Hearts}.

"That should show you all you needed to know," he said as he raked in the pot.
