Throughout the day he has added more than 300,000 to his stack and is steadily moving up the chip counts.
On this hand, Adams was one of four players to see the flop for 11,000. Adams was on the button and the action checked to him when the flop came . He bet 15,500 and got one caller.
He bet the on the turn and his opponent folded. Adams stacked 480,000 chips and is sitting in a comfortable position as the conclusion to Day 3, and the money bubble, are looming.
