Friedman's Out a Buck
"Didn't you win a bracelet last year?" a player at the table asked two-time WSOP gold bracelet winner Adam Friedman.
Friedman replied, "Yeah."
"Gimme a dollar so I can tip the waitress." A bemused Friedman reached into his pocket and tossed the gentleman a dollar, to the delight of his tablemates.
A few hands later, after an early position raise, Sal Busacca three-bet to 4,500 in middle position, and the benefactor of Friedman's generosity four-bet to 10,000 next to act. Action folded back to Busacca, who called.
Busacca bet 11,500 on the 
flop, then snap-called when his opponent jammed for 30,000.
Opponent: 
Sal Busacca: 
A cooler flop left Busacca's opponent drawing to a lone out, that wouldn't materialize on the 
turn or 
river.
"I got nobody to pick on me now! And I'm out the dollar!" Friedman said with a chuckle.
"You're welcome," Busacca told Friedman.
