Friedman Gets a Fold
Pot Limit Hold 'Em
Action picked up on the flop with a large pot of over 100,000 in the middle. Adam Friedman had checked from the hijack to Alfred Atamian on the button. Atamian put out a bet of 32,000.
Friedman slid out a stack of 25,000 chips that covered Atamian for about 170,000 effective.
"See, this game was in the muck. All of a sudden, Pot Limit Hold 'Em and we got action," said another player at the table not in the hand.
"Are those all greens?" asked Atamian.
"Yeah, I put you all in," said Friedman.
Atamian thought for a while with his tournament life at risk. After a couple of minutes, he decided to fold.
"Show him the 
, said a tablemate. No, don't show him. Don't show him the 
you sicko."
Friedman didn't show anything, just mucked his cards and added the chips to his stack.
