Friedlander Driving This Bus
It's another monster pot to Gary Friedlander.
It began with him opening to 5,500 under the gun, and he found calls from Kunal Patel (cutoff), Brian Senie (button), and Prince Gaspard (big blind). The four men took a flop, and the action came heavy. Gaspard checked, and Friedlander continued out with 21,500. Patel folded (what he later said was ), but Senie raised it up to 65,000. Gaspard spent some time in the tank before folding (what he later said was ), but Friedlander reraised all in over the top. Senie had about 120,000 left, and he called it off with for bottom set. Friedlander turned up for the flopped flush, and he was happy to hear that some of Senie's outs were used up.
The turn was a blank, and so was the river , and Senie has gone from chip leader to out the door in one quick level. We're going to have to wait for Friedlander to stack up, but he's definitely close to 600,000 now.
One other note: Allen Kessler folded from the small blind, and he's slightly peeved on missing out that 400,000-chip pot.
