James Paluszek: /
- folded fourth street
After James Paluszek folded on fourth street and Yuval Bronshtein folded on fifth following bets from Adam Friedman, the chip leader was left heads-up with Kevin Gerhart who continued through the big bet rounds, check-calling on fifth, then calling on sixth when Friedman made an open pair of fives.
On seventh, Friedman bet dark, and Gerhart went briefly into the tank before deciding on a call.
Friedman showed another five in the hole for winning trip fives to extending his chip stack over the two million mark.
