Adams Wins Final Heat, Completes 3-0 Sweep
Two big hands have given Timothy Adams the victory in this final heat. The Canadian sweeps Hong Kong Stars' Weiyi Zhang and rakes in nine crucial Global Poker League-points for the Rome Emperors.
In the first hand, Zhang raised it up to 3,200 with 
. Adams shoved all-in for 32,730 with 
and Zhang made the call.
The 
-flop gave Adams the nut flush, but Zhang flopped two pair and was hoping to see another king or queen appear on turn or river.
The 
on the turn couldn't save Zhang and neither could the 
-river.
A couple of hands Zhang raised to 4,600 with again. This time, Adams was holding 
and he decided to call.
Zhang bet 3,800 on the 
-flop and with top pair, Adams made the call. The 
fell on the turn and Zhang fired out a bet of 8,880. Adams went all-in and Zhang made the call with his gutshot and flush draw.
The river was neither a ten or a heart, but the 
instead. Giving Adams his third win of the night and the clean sweep. He rakes in nine points for the Rome Emperors, leaving Weiyi Zhang and the Hong Kong Stars empty handed.
It was a great day for Adams. He took the lead early on in the first heat. Although he had some trouble finishing it off, he took it down after a couple of all-ins.
The second heat quickly went his way. In the final hand, he flopped two pair with his king-three and got it all-in against Zhang's third pair and a flush draw. Zhang couldn't get there and Adams took a 2-0 lead.
In the final match, Adams fell behind a little bit, after a nice river bluff from Zhang. But eventually he was able to complete the sweep.
The Emperors are now in fourth with 110 points, just three points behind the Hong Kong Stars and the London Royals. They surpass the Paris Aviators by two points, but both the Royals and the Aviators have to play later on today.
The next match, which will start in about 30-minutes time, will be between Moscow Wolverines' Anatoly Filatov and Paris Aviators' George Danzer.
