Adams Faces Big River Bet from Naves

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With approximately 40,000 in the middle on a turn board of {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Timothy Adams checked in the big blind to Tauan Naves who bet 8,500.

Adams called to see the {4-Hearts} fall on the river, then checked again.

Naves peeled a pair of green and yellow T-25,000 chips off his stack and added a blue T-5,000 chip for a bet of 55,000.

Adams thought briefly before flicking his cards toward the dealer.

Meanwhile, Ren Lin has joined Nikita Kusnetsov as the latest to reenter the tournament.

Mulder Sits Then Shoves

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Teun Mulder has recently joined the field and it didn't take long for him to get his chips into the middle.

Mulder raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 17,000 by Kayhan Mokri in the small blind.

Mulder then moved all in for approximately 70,000 total, which got a quick fold from Mokri, who commented on the speed of Mulder's jam dissuading him from potentially calling.

Adams Waits Until the River

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tauan Naves raised to 5,500 in the hijack and Timothy Adams reraised to 26,000 from the small blind. Naves called and they went heads-up to a flop of {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Both players checked through to the {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {k-Diamonds} on the river. Adams finally splashed in a bet of 45,000 on the river which forced Naves to use a time bank before mucking his cards.

More for Mokri

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Following an under-the-gun raise to 5,000 from Niklas Astedt, Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 15,000 on the button and was cold-called by Tom Orpaz in the small blind. Astedt called and the trio took a flop.

Before the dealer spread {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} in front of the players, Orpaz checked dark. Astedt checked as well, and Mokri continued for 16,000.

Orpaz quickly folded and after a bit of thought, Astedt flashed his cards to Mokri and then folded as well.
