Adam Friedman Eliminated in 11th Place ($23,572)

Livello 14 : Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante

After three players folded before him, Ivan Ermin moved all in from the cutoff and the action was then on Adam Friedman.

"Uhmm, ok, I'm going to need a count," he announced after he looked at his cards.

"Alright, I don't have much, but I'm probably going to gamble," Friedman said, and a few seconds later he made the call to put himself at risk.

Adam Friedman: K♣10♠
Ivan Ermin: J♣10♦

"Jack!" Ermin shouted as he stood up, and the dealer complied by putting out a flop of J♥8♣9♥.

"Can he ask for that?" Freidman asked the dealer sarcastically as she set out the turn 8♥.

The 9♠ on the river did not change anything and Ermin was awarded the pot while Friedman was eliminated in 11th place.

John Juanda limped from early position, as did Hongwei Yu to his direct left and Wai Kiat Lee in the hijack. Martin Nielsen raised from cutoff to 33,000 and Martin Zamani on the button called. Both Juanda and Yu folded and Lee elected to see a flop.

On a board of K♠10♥9♦, Lee checked and Nielsen bet out 33,000. Zamani responded with a raise to 120,000; Lee folded and Nielsen called.

The 10♠ turn checked through to the 8♣ on the river. Nielsen checked to Zamani who verbalised he was giving up on the pot, and decided to check back. Nielsen tabled K♦10♦ for a full house.

Livello 13 : Blinds 0/0, 3,000 ante

Martin Zamani made it 22,000 to go and only Martin Nielsen made the call to see the flop of 9♣A♣J♦, which both players checked.

On the turn J♦, Nielsen led out for 50,000 but then Zamani raised him to 130,000. After using a time bank, Nielsen then announced he was all-in and Zamani hastily folded.

"Show the bluff, come on show it," Zamani pleaded.

"Yeah, I think he had two tens, perfect bluff," John Juanda chimed in as Nielsen raked in the pot.
