Friedman Saves Himself Some Chips

Perry Friedman was in middle position when he called a preflop raise to 250 from a player in early position. The flop came {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and the early-position player bet 350 with Friedman making the call.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and Friedman bet 700 after being checked to. His opponent called and they both checked the {j-Diamonds} on the river.

When all was said and done Friedman tabled {a-Spades}{7-Spades} while his opponent showed {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}, leading Friedman to say, "Wow, thank God I didn't bet."
