Prahlad Friedman was the other big-name bustout. Once again, many casual poker fans may not know Friedman, but he is a legend in the online community and has had notable success playing live as well, winning a bracelet in 2003. Known as Spirit Rock, Mahatma, and a variety of other handles, Friedman has been playing in the biggest online games for a while.
Friedman's end came after he came over the top of a $400,000 raise by Jamie Gold preflop and pushed all-in for $1,700,000. Gold called with an 8d-7c, and Friedman showed the Ah-3s. Gold flopped the nut straight, and Friedman's day was over. He made $494,797 for 20th place.
what was gold's stack at the time? he's getting almost 2-1 now on his money. almost an instacall if friedman's stack is small.
