Adams Makes a Big Call To Clip Perry

Level 17 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brandon Adams opened under the gun with a raise to 65,000. Sean Perry called in the hijack seat.

The flop was {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Adams continued with a bet of 80,000. Perry called.

On the {3-Hearts} turn, Adams slowed down and checked. Perry put out 130,000. Adams thought about it for a bit, then called.

The river was the {J-Clubs} and Adams checked again. Perry made a bigger bet this time of 170,000. Adams tanked for nearly his entire 30 seconds, then called. Perry showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a pair, but Adams had him pipped with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a better pair so he would take the pot to move to right around 1,400,000.
