Warrick Wee Pressured By Adam Friedman
Warrick Wee sees his 13,000 raise challenged by small blind Adam Friedman who makes it 40,000 to continue. Wee tank-calls. Heavier action follows at the flop A♠ 5♥ 7♥ with Friedman betting 27,000, Wee raising 70,000, Friedman answering back with an all in of 191,500. Well covered. Wee tanks for nearly three minutes then finds the guts to risk it.
Friedman has A♥ Q♥ , Wee has A♦ Q♦ , Wee sweats the turn 9♠ and river K♠ and is relieved at no other hearts finding the board.

Yu Lin Back from the Brink
Yu Lin is down to fumes and jams for three blinds. Everyone folds, including Vanluyen Tran in the big blind who mucks 7♦ 2♥ .
Lin then doubles through Adam Friedman for 22,000 with 9♦ 7♦ versus K♣ J♣ when he rivers a flush on the 8♠ 5♦ 2♠ J♦ 8♦ board.
He then also doubles through Krisztian Torok with A♦ 9♦ versus pocket fives when he flops the nut flush on the Q♦ 6♦ 2♦ 8♠ 4♠ runout for another double.

Double Knockout for Yunkyu Song

Adam Friedman raises to 8,000 and Yunkyu Song then three-bets to 26,000 in the next seat. Julian Selinger jams for 95,000 in the next seat thereafter and Wailiang Tai calls all-in, Friedman folds and Song snap-calls.
Tai's Q♣ Q♠ are up against the T♥ T♦ of Selinger while Song has the best of it with A♥ A♣ .
Song nails the A♦ J♦ 3♦ flop but both opponents are alive, especially after the T♣ turn. However, the 9♣ river changes nothing and Song claims another two victims.

Adam Friedman Flips Out Javier Gomez

Krisztian Torok raises to 8,000 and Adam Friedman calls, as does Vanluyen Tran. Javier Gomez jams for 123,500 and Torok folds, Friedman jams and Tran reluctantly folds.
Gomez flops with A♥ Q♥ against the T♠ T♥ of Friedman, who hits top set on the T♦ 5♠ 4♥ flop. The 7♠ turn seals Gomez's fate and the 5♥ river only improves Friedman to tens full.
