Gaspard On a Roll to Reduce Friedman's Lead
Jean Gaspard has won three hands in a row to cut into the large lead of Adam Friedman and even taunted his opponent in the process.
Two hands in particular stood out and happened as follows.
Jean Gaspard: 
/ 
Adam Friedman: / 
fold on fifth
Gaspard completed and Friedman called. Gaspard bet his lead on fourth to earn a call and then bet fifth. Friedman raised and snap-folded when Gaspard made it three bets. "Oh man, are you for real?" Gaspard joked.
Adam Friedman: / 
/
Jean Gaspard: / 
/
Friedman then completed and called a raise by Gaspard, who bet fourth and received a call. Friedman then bet his lead on fifth to seventh street and two quick calls by Gaspard were followed by a reluctant one.
Friedman didn't table his down cards but instead pointed to the other side of the table.
"You can't beat two fives? Oh wow, he is done ..." Gaspard joked to his rail while flashing his 
. He then followed that up with a "I don't like your odds now ... I don't like your odds."
In the next hand thereafter, a similar pattern emerged but Gaspard folded a pair of fours this time with his open cards showing 
against the 
of Friedman.
