Former Marine Tim Adkison Makes Astoria Proud in Big 50

Chad Holloway

Level 38 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Tim Adkison busted the Big 50 in 40th place for $27,620, the biggest score of his career. Prior to his elimination, PokerNews caught up with the 27-year-old former marine and UNLV student to talk about the experience of playing the largest tournament in poker history.

“Because of the tournament itself, it’s awesome,” said Adkison, who is originally from Astoria, Oregon. “I’ve played pretty deep in other tournaments but this is obviously the deepest. It’s pretty tough. There’s no more fish in this entire tournament, so every chip is important.”

It actually marked Adkison’s second attempt at the Big 50 after busting an early bullet.

“I pre-regged the first time and made it to Level 10,” he explains. “I busted and got back in line for the next day. It wasn’t that bad of a line as it was after midnight.”
