Adams Claims Buldygin's Profit

Level 42 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Viacheslav "VbV1990" Buldygin started to pull further ahead in a series of small pots and his next min-raise to 1.6 million was called by "tikidiii" and Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams out of the blinds once again.

Adams check-called a bet of 3.2 million by Buldygin on the {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and they checked the {10-Clubs} turn. Adams then led the {4-Clubs} river for 3.84 million into 11.8 million, which won the pot uncontested.

On the {8-Spades} turn, "tikidiii" bet 5,741,257 and picked up a call to then bet the {k-Diamonds} river for 10,214,754 into 15,682,515.
