Brandon Adams

A player under the gun raised to 900, and it folded back around to Brandon Adams, author of the poker-themed novel Broke, in the big blind. Adams called.

The flop came {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

. Adams bet 1,200, his opponent raised to 3,200, and Adams called. The turn was the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. Adams bet 4,500, and this time his opponent just called.

The river brought the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. Adams bet 11,000, and got the call. Adams turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Spades}

-- he'd been betting his draws, and the flush had come on the end. His opponent mucked.

Adams is up to 75,000.
