Friedman Survives

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In the cutoff, Warren Friedman shoved all-in for 450,000, and Paul Merlette in the big blind called.

Warren Friedman: Q♦6♠All in
Paul Merlette: K♣Q♠

Merlette had Friedman dominated, but the flop came 8♦9♣6♥, pushing Friedman ahead with a pair of sixes. Merlette was still hoping for his king to hit the board, but the turn fell 10♣, and the river showed 5♠. Friedman fist pumped, happy to have survived.
