Well That Didn't Work

Brandon Adams recently made a curious move against his table that didn't work out in his favor. After an early-position player raised to 1,100, Erick Lindgren and a middle-position player both called. Action folded to Adams, who took a stack of 20 orange (T5,000) chips and slammed them down in the middle of the table. The initial raiser folded, bringing the action back to Lindgren.

He tanked for three or four minutes before finally, reluctantly, folding his hand. Then the middle-position player surprised the whole table by calling all in for a total of 18,000 and opening {6-Spades} {7-Spades}! Adams showed {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, infuriating Lindgren. The board ran out {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades} to make two pair for the middle-position player. Adams still has plenty of chips.
