We caught the action on fourth street when David Chiu and Adam Friedman, the latter being the defending champion, both checked. Friedman then checked fifth and Chiu bet 1,000. Friedman woke up with a check-raise to 2,000, Chiu called and then both players returned to checking on sixth.
Friedman checked yet again on seventh, and Chiu took the opportunity to bet 1,000. "Wow," Friedman said before thinking for about 30 seconds. "You're the best, David," Friedman added before folding his hand.
