Adams Falls
Brandon Adams spent the day quietly absorbed in his own little iPad world. A game of chess, an audio book, a browse of the news. He quietly accumulated chips for the first half of the day, then quietly dribbled them away over the latter half. He's gone now.
In early position, Kunal Patel raised to 4,500, and he found three calls. Gary Friedlander (middle position), Brandon Adams (cutoff), and Adam Levy (small blind) all took a flop. It checked around to Friedlander, and he stuck out a bet of 9,000. Adams shoved all in for about 46,000 total, quickly folding the two monkeys in the middle. Friedlander called instantly, though, and his figured to be best. Adams' was almost drawing dead, and the turn and river have forced his exit in 19th place.
The good news for the pro is that he didn't need the points. Adams is already one of the 100-player field of next week's WSOP-C National Championship.
