Ohio poker pro Adam Friedman runs well at JACK Cleveland Casino. When the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) first visited them for a $1,100 Main Event back in January 2018, Friedman finished third out of 581 runners for $52,976.

This past January, he once again placed third, this time out of 725 entrants, for an additional $63,2983, and over the weekend he was not only at the final table again, but managed to top a 596-entry field to win it for $121,405 and his first MSPT title.

Friedman, primarily a cash mixed-game player, brought his lifetime tournament earnings up over $3 million, which was also boosted over the summer when he won the 2019 WSOP Event #35: $10,000 Dealers Choice Championship 6-Handed for $312,417 and bracelet three.

Final Table Action

According to updates from the event, Friedman steadily chipped up at the final table and wouldn��t notch his first elimination until five-handed play. That is when Matthew McKenzie got his stack all in preflop holding the ace-nine of clubs only to see Friedman roll over ace-queen. The superior ace held and McKenzie was ousted in fifth place for $30,640.

Not long after, Friedman picked up two black jacks to bust Daniel Swartz, who failed to get lucky with ace-jack all in preflop, and in the very next hand the eventual champ dispatched Agostino Ragozzino. It happened when Ragozzino jammed holding ace-five and Friedman woke up with pocket nines. Ragozzino flopped a five but that was all the help he got before busting in third place for $54,343.

Friedman took a more than 3:1 chip lead into heads-up play against Spencer Wright, and in what would be the final hand of the tournament the latter called off holding a flopped flush draw against the former��s pocket aces. Wright failed to catch a diamond on the turn and river, and he had to settle for second place and $74,585 in prize money.

Season 10 of the MSPT continues this weekend with a $350 Regional Event at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota.
