Game:  Big O

Robert Mizrachi pot-bet 41,600 from the small blind, and Bradley Ruben thought for a bit before folding the big blind. Then it was on Adam Friedman on the button, and he thought for a little while before he called.

Adam Friedman:  

Friedman had a nine-high club flush for the high, and an 8-6-4 for the low. But then Mizrachi said, “Nut, nut,” as he turned over his hand.

Robert Mizrachi:  

Mizrachi had an ace-high flush for the nut high, and an 8-6-3 for the nut low to scoop the entire pot and eliminate Friedman on the Money Bubble in third place. (After the hand, Ruben claimed that he folded a set of queens.)

Adam Friedman  –  Eliminated in 3rd Place
