Adams Limp Shoves and Wins

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

From the button, David Peters limped the button holding {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} as Brandon Adams called in the small blind with {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. From the big blind, Doug Polk raised to 175,000 holding {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and Peters called.

With the action on Adams, he moved all in for 1,140,000 and Polk immediately folded as Peters paused his countdown clock by asking for a count on Adams' stack.

Once the count of 1,140,000 was confirmed, Peters' countdown clock re-started and Peters eventually folded his hand.
