Adcock Scores Double Up, Lets Everyone Know
Level 38
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Joshua Adcock wasn’t in the mood for Julien Loire raising his big blind on the first hand after the dinner break.
After Loire made it 2,500,000 to go, Adcock three-bet all in for his remaining 22,000,000, which Loire called to put Adcock at risk.
Joshua Adcock: A♣5♠
Julien Loire: A♦9♦
“We need a five,” Adcock turned and said to his supporters on the rail.
The dealer fanned A♠6♣2♦ on the flop, keeping Loire ahead. The 3♥ on the turn kept hope alive for Adcock with a gut-shot straight draw, but then 5♥ arrived on the river to seal it for Adcock, who doubled up and let out his excitement.
“Hop-Town!” Adcock screamed in reference to his hometown, Hopkinsville, Kentucky. “Let’s go! It’s my time!”
