Garza Gets Friedman to Fold Flush Heavy Board
Seven Card Stud
Ap Garza: / /
Adam Friedman: / /
What seemed to run out as a rather standard hand culminated in a crazy twist as Ap Garza managed to get Adam Friedman to fold a four-heart open board.
It was Friedman who bet all the way and Garza, on the other side of the table with a rather innocent jack-high board and just two clubs, called it down while he had the sunglasses on.
On seventh street, Friedman bet once more and Garza then raised! Friedman vaulted out of his chair in disbelief and counted his remaining 360,000 chips behind very carefully. He double-checked his cards and muttered an "holy shit".
Another two minutes passed and Friedman then asked "you see I have four hearts here, right?" to which Garza stood up from his chair, took off the sunglasses and stared at Friedman's board.
Friedman needed more time to think and apologised twice to the table but nobody was going to call the clock anyways. Ultimately, Friedman crumbled his board and tossed it into the muck.
Garza, now with the sunglasses back on, offered to reveal one card but Friedman instantly declined.
"You don't have to have hearts, I had three in my hand," Garza seemingly said and Scott Bohlman then chimed in. "You have heart for sure, you might be my new favourite," he concluded in table chat while Friedman was left with a very short stack.
