WSOP 2008
Friedberg Paid Off with P5s
by Brett on 07.06.08, 5:43 pm
Jon “pokertrip” Friedberg hit the flop of all flops near the end of Level 1. With the board reading K
Q
5
, the big blind led out for 1K and Friedberg and another player called. The 4
fell on the turn and the big blind bet 2K. The player under the gun folded and Friedberg raised to 7.5K. His opponent called and both players saw the T hit on the river. Friedberg shoved his last 11K into the pot, having his opponent covered, and he called quickly with KQ. Friedberg, however, showed 55 for a flopped set and raked a massive pot to increase his stack to 40K.
