John Pointer

John Pointer opened to 80,000 from middle position, Nakim Adesio called from the cutoff, and Mark Zhang called in the big blind. The flop was Qc6c6d and both Zhang and Pointer checked.

Adesio bet 125,000 and Zhang folded. Pointer thought for a minute, told the dealer he was all in, and Adesio quickly called.

Adesio: KhQs
Pointer: TcTh

Pointer was ahead preflop but Adesio caught up when he paired his queen. The board finished with the Ac turn and 4d river and Pointer was eliminated in eighth place.

Nakim Adesio – 2,520,000 (63 bb)
