Alfie Adam Upsets Wadey
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Alfie Adam opened the action and two short stacks moved all in behind him. Waheed Ashraf called the largest all in and Adam responded by moving all in over the top of him.
“Why did you do that?” Wadey wanted to know of Adam.
Another player objected to the talking during a multi-way pot but Ashraf pointed out that there was no more action. The floor was called and it was established that he could not talk in the pot even though three players were all in.
Ashraf threw his hand in and was aghast when he saw Adam turn over 
. He was up against the 
and 
of the at risk players.
The board ran out 
and Adam collected the pot busting two players.
“You want to be careful,” Wadey continued at Adam, “Someone else could have called you with my hand.”
“I had to protect my hand.” Adam explained.
That pot pushed Adam to around 135,000.

A Nightmare of a Hand
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
On the table of Kully Sidhu, a hand just took place that may cause some nightmares still. After some preflop action, Martin Schoettke and table neighbor Tristan Maclaren invested 8,000 on the 
flop. On the 
turn, Schoettke wanted to go all in but didn't say anything and pushed forward his stack in two movements.
The dealer stopped right there and said that only the first move counted as bet, which amounted to 15,000. Maclaren wanted to push all in, but didn't say anything either and splashed in 15,000 - exactly how much the call would be. The 
then came on the river and suddenly Schoettke checked, causing different reactions at the table. Maclaren pushed all in and Schoettke folded ... with 4,000 behind.
Maclaren showed 
to claim the pot and Schoettke busted soon after.

Stephen Hendry: 
James Koumis:
"Red cards please," Hendry said towards the dealer but his wish wasn't granted on a board of

Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
From under the gun, a short stack pushed for his last 16,700 and the action folded to Shantanu Banerji in the hijack. He asked for a count and called, all other opponents folded.
"Jacks," the short stack announced and Banerji turned over to see appear on the other side of the table. Despite being ahead, the short stack seemed to know his fate and said "I need some luck" only for the flop to fall 
. The turn and river were blanks and Banerji added some more to his stack.

Guess Cody’s Stack
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Pokerstars Team Pro Jake Cody has tweeted that the person who guess closest to how many chips he finishes with today will get 1% of his action and the top 12 closest will win a PokerStars hip flask.
There are a flood of guesses already with quite a few opting for zero. Shame on you!
