Ho Puts a Beat on Friedman

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Huan Ho opened for 650 in the hijack, and Adam Friedman three-bet to 1,400 on his left. Ho came back with 4,500, and Friedman splashed in an exaggerated call. Ho bet 7,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, and Friedman called. Ho continued his aggression with 17,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn, and Friedman counted out his stack and thought for a couple of minutes before moving in for about 10,000 more. Ho asked for a count of the raise.

"That's no pair," Friedman said with a smile.

He was right, but Ho called anyway with the {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and his draw was live as Friedman had {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The river brought a {6-Diamonds}, giving Ho a flush.

"I knew I had the best hand," Friedman said before heading to the registration desk to reenter.
