Friedman Feels the Payne
"Well, there goes the first bullet," World Series of Poker bracelet winner and HPT champ Adam Friedman said, marking the first time he's ever busted a MSPT event.
We missed the hand, but Friedman was kind enough to fill us in on the details. According to him he raised to 1,000 under the gun with 
and Ken Payne three-bet to 2,500 from the button. Friedman responded with a four-bet to 5,200, Payne called (even though he said he knew Friedman had aces... at least according to Friedman), and the flop came down 
with two diamonds.
Both players checked, and then Friedman put out a bet on the 
turn. Payne called and ended up moving all in after Friedman checked when a second 
appeared on the river. Friedman called off with his aces and kings, but it was no good as Payne had gotten extremely luck to make trips with .
Friedman said he'll be back, though he's not sure if he'll jump in later tonight or wait until tomorrow. Time will tell.
