Sah Damages Friedman on Coin Flip

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In early position Adam Friedman looked down at the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} and raised to 185,000. Mandeep Sah moved all in for 1.5 million as he held {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Friedman thought for a while, as a call would be for the most of his stack. Eventually he did call to set up a huge coin flip situation with Sah's final table life on the line.

The flop was bad news for Friedman when it came {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to pair Sah's king. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river came the {7-Hearts} to keep Sah alive and to reduce Friedman's stack to a mere 220,000.

Eyster Gets Chip Boost

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Abdul Amer raised under the gun to 160,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. He picked up three callers, Mandeep Sah from the cutoff with the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Thila Narayanan from the small blind with the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and Kevin Eyster from the big blind with the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Eyster was rewarded for calling from the big blind as the flop came {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The action checked around to Amer who continued with a bet of 175,000. Sah called and Narayanan folded. Action was then on Eyster who shoved all in for his remaining 835,000.

Amer thought for a while, considering the hand and the situation before eventually laying it down. Sah then went deep into the tank as he contemplated whether his nines were good on this board. He hesitated slightly while reaching for his cards but did eventually fold to give Eyster a beefy pot to add to his stack.

Sah Doubles Up

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Adam Friedman raised in early position to 135,000 with the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Mandeep Sah looked down at the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and moved all in for 1.1 million in chips.

Action folded back around to Friedman who looked at his chips for a moment and called, only to see that his jacks were dominated by the queens.

The board would provide no help to Friedman as it ran out {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} to keep Sah alive with a nice double up and leave Friedman with under 1 million in chips.
