Adeniya's On Fire

Martins Adeniya opened to 27,000 from under the gun and Luigi Caramatti shoved all in for 175,000. The big blind released and Adeniya snapped it off.

Showdown
Adeniya: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Caramatti: {J-Spades}{4-Hearts} (whoopsy)

The board ran {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Caramatti hit the rail.

Adeniya was on the brink of elimination just moments ago and now sits with 562,000 chips.

Nine-Ball

Martins Adeniya was all in and behind again, this time was against Alexander Wilson preflop.

Showdown
Adeniya: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Wilson: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Adeniya binked a two-outer on the {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop and the turn and river came {8-Diamonds}, {a-Clubs} doubling him to 275,000 chips and crippling Wilson.

Ironically, Adeniya eliminated Wilson the next hand.

Railbirds

The rail here in the red section of the Amazon Room hasn't let up since play began. The Brits are here in full force railing Martins Adeniya and of course there's a slew of folks crowded around Daniel Negreanu's table trying to catch some action.

King Solomon

Jarred Solomon opened to 19,000 from under the gun and Sorel Mizzi three-bet to 42,000 from middle position. John Eames moved all in for over 200,000 from the big blind and Solomon re-shoved having all players covered. Mizzi folded and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Solomon: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Eames: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Eames hit the rail.

Solomon is now very strong with 565,000 chips.

Adeniya Gets There

Adeniya doubles.
Adeniya doubles.

In a three-way limped pot at Table 369, the flop fell {K-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Steve Cowley led for 16,000 from the small blind and Martins Adeniya moved all in for 102,000 total from the big blind. David Benefield flatted on the button and Cowley released.

Showdown
Adeniya: {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Benefield: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Adeniya needed a jack to chop or a heart to win the whole pot. The turn was red, but the {5-Diamonds} wouldn't suffice.

The {A-Hearts} on the river did the trick though, and Adeniya made his flush doubling to 230,000 chips. Benefield slipped to 250,000.

November Niner James Akenhead and recent bracelet winner Praz Bansi are on the rail and shared a light celebration with a few of their countrymen after the {A-Hearts} fell. We can only imagine what they'll be like if the Englishman makes the final table.

Caramatti Doubles

From the small blind, Taurean Davis made it 23,000 to go and Luigi Caramatti answered that with an all-in move for 131,000 form the big blind. Davis made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Davis: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Caramatti: {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Caramatti doubled to 267,000 while Davis' stack dropped to 296,000.
