Adams Chipping Up

Nick Becker

Niveau 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Timothy Adams raised to 21,000 in the cutoff and Biao Ding defended in the big blind.

The flop came 2♣6♦10♣ and Ding check-called a bet of 17,000 from Adams, bringing the 9♦ turn.

Ding check-called again, this time for 68,000. The river landed the K♦, bringing in backdoor straight and flush draws.

Ding checked for a third time and Adams checked back, tabling J♣10♥ for a pair of tens, besting the 8♥6♣ of Ding.
