Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Seth Gottlieb raised to 400,000 from the cutoff and Timothy Adams three-bet to 600,000 from the button. Adrian Mateos folded his small blind but Koichi Chiba four-bet jammed for around 3,100,000. Gottlieb folded, and Adams called for the remainder of his stack and his tournament life.

Timothy Adams: A7
Koichi Chiba: AQ

"Hold on, I want my cards back, 54," Gottlieb remarked with a smile.

The dealer ran the J582J out on the board for Chiba to hold with the higher kicker to eliminate Adams from the unofficial final table in ninth place for $162,800.

Koichi Chiba: 1010

The flop came 4104 for Chiba to hit a full house immediately.

The turn was the A to give Mizzi a glimmer of hope but the 10 dashed that instantly as Chiba improved to quad tens to bust Mizzi in 15th place.
