Adam Friedman accomplished something on Monday that happens rarely at the World Series of Poker. He managed to win the same event two years in a row. On Monday, Friedman defeated Shaun Deeb heads-up in the $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship at the 2019 World Series of Poker to win his third career WSOP bracelet and $312,417 in prize money.

The $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship concluded on Monday night with a star-studded final table. This event drew a field of 122 entries to create a prize pool of $1.14 million. Monday was actually Day 4 of the event with the final table being reached on Sunday.

When play resumed, Shaun Deeb started as the chip leader with almost a million chips over the rest of the field. Other players remaining at the final table included Matt Glantz, David Moskowitz, Michael McKenna, and Adam Friedman. Friedman took down this event in 2018 and was in good shape to repeat as he started the day second in chips.

David Moskowitz started the day as the uber-short stack with less than 5 big bets left but managed to still ladder up one pay spot. Michael McKenna was the fifth-place finisher after getting knocked out during a hand of PL 2-7 Triple Draw against Shaun Deeb. McKenna was all-in after the first draw and Deeb called and stood pat with an 8-6-5-4-2. McKenna held 7-4-3-2 and drew once twice but could only pull a ten. He finished in fifth for $72,653.

David Moskowitz was the next player out. He was all-in pre-flop during a PLO round with 10c-10d-7c-5d against the Kd-Kc-Qs-8s of Adam Friedman. Moskowitz flopped a wrap draw but failed to complete it. He went home $100,400 richer.

Matt Glantz was the eventual third-place finisher, falling during a 2-7 Triple Draw hand against Shaun Deeb. On the final draw, Deeb stood pat with 10-8-6-5-4 and Glantz held 8-4-3-2. He ended up drawing another deuce and left to collect his $139,126 in prize money.

Adam Friedman Defeats Shaun Deeb After a Spirited Heads-Up Battle

At the start of heads-up play, Adam Friedman led Shaun Deeb by just over six big bets. Heads-up play would last for over two hours between these two as the chip lead changed multiple times. Just when it seemed that this battle would go on for even longer, a big cooler during an NL Hold’em hand abruptly ended the tournament.

Friedman raised to 60k and Deeb three-bet to 250k pre-flop. Friedman called and the flop fell 8c-7d-4h. Deeb bet 175k and Friedman raised to 530k. Deeb made the call and the turn fell the 7h. Deeb checked to Friedman who bet 670k. Deeb made the call and the river fell the Js.

Deeb checked to Friedman who then shoved all-in and had Deeb covered. Deeb tanked briefly before calling. He turned over Ah-Jc for jacks-up. However, Friedman turned over 8d-7c for sevens-full and the tournament was over in an instant. Shaun Deeb finished in second, good for $193,090.

Adam Friedman accomplished something you rarely see in poker. He managed to win the same tournament in back-to-back years. What makes this win that much more impressive is the fact that Friedman won a Dealer’s Choice tournament. This requires an insane amount of poker knowledge and the ability to constantly shift gears.

This was Friedman’s third career WSOP bracelet victory and he did it in dramatic fashion. In addition to the gold bracelet, Friedman earned $312,417 in prize money. Looking at his resume, the majority of his earnings at the World Series of Poker are in mixed games. There should be little doubt in anyone’s mind that Friedman is among the elite when it comes to mixed games at the World Series of Poker.
