Timothy Adams Eliminated in 9th Place ($162,800)
Level 18
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
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: A♣7♥
Koichi Chiba: A♥Q♦
"Hold on, I want my cards back, 5♥4♥," Gottlieb remarked with a smile.
The dealer ran the J♣5♠8♥2♣J♦ 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.
