Adam Friedman shows his superhero after defending his $10,000 Dealer’s Choice title, and Howard Mash takes down the $1,000 Seniors title at the 50th Anniversary World Series of Poker.

A kid sits on a school bus, nose dripping with snot, tears bursting from holes in his face like a shower head as a group of bullies take their household pain out on the top of his head, playing it like a drum. Had Adam Friedman been on that bus, he would have done something about it, because Friedman is the baddest superhero in the DC Universe.

One year, after Friedman beat 111-entrants to capture the bracelet in the $10,000 Dealer’s Choice Championship, he’s successfully defended it despite 122 people trying to throw a card protector into his spokes.

The storyline also reeks of vengeance, as Friedman beat Shaun Deeb, heads-up, to win the bracelet (Deeb defeated Friedman in the same spot during the 2016 $1,500 Seven Card Stud event).
