Niveau 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

While the main focus of the WSOP Paradise series will be on chasing gold bracelets, there are plenty of activities and sights worth checking out in the Bahamas after busting out of a tournament.

All the poker action will take place at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort, with plenty of viable options to drink and dine. The hotel has plenty of fine dining and casual dining options, along with a buffet. Hotel guests can even purchase an all-inclusive package for what is mostly unlimited drinks and grub throughout their stay.

Atlantis has a little something for everyone when it comes to food. There's a sushi bar, sports bar, ice cream shop, buffet, cafe, steakhouse, deli, snack bar, Starbucks, seafood restaurant, burger joint, and multiple other fine dining establishments. The numerous food choices make it convenient on dinner breaks during tournaments or on non-poker days.

Adams Ousts Cornell With Ace-High

Niveau 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Tyler Cornell who limped for 30,000 from the cutoff. Timothy Adams was in the small blind and decided to put in a raise to 85,000. Cornell called and both players headed to a 7♠5♦6♦ flop.

Adams reached for chips and led with a bet of 45,000. Cornell paused briefly before making the call and watching as the 3♠ hit the turn.

Adams took a moment to ponder his action and eventually came to the decision to jam, putting Cornell to a decision for his whole stack. Cornell checked his cards and didn't seem to love it but did put his chips in to place himself at risk with one card to come.

Tyler Cornell: J♦9♦
Timothy Adams: A♥Q♠

Neither player held a pair and Cornell was behind going to the river, but a lot of outs would help him stave off elimination. The dealer burned a card and put the 6♠ out on the river, offering no help to Cornell and sealing his fate as Adams collected the remainder of his chips.

West Spikes Two-Outer to Double

BrandonBloom

Niveau 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jonathan West was all in for 326,000 in the cutoff and at risk against Derek Whelan under the gun.

Jonathan West: J♥J♣
Derek Whelan: Q♥Q♣

West was pipped against the slightly superior premium pocket pair and the 10♣6♣5♦ flop changed nothing.

The K♣ turn left West needing a jack as he got up from his seat, but the J♦ spiked the river and Whelan slammed the table at the sight of the unlikely result. West collected the double, while Whelan was left with only 5,000 and was eliminated shortly after.
