Adams Eliminated in Controversial Ending

• Nivel 7: 400-800, 100 ante

We walked in on the floor making a ruling at a table with Brandon Adams, Shaun Deeb, and Bryan Devonshire. Adams was all in with a board showing {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a pair of queens and Deeb showing {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs} for aces and tens. The controversy occurred when Devonshire, who was not involved in the hand, said that the dealer did not burn a card before dealing seventh street.

Even though the dealer said she did, the cards were counted and indeed the dealer did not burn a card. As a result, the cards on seventh street were shifted around, and Deeb, who had just a pair of sixes at the time, got the {a-Spades} to make two pair. That bested Adams, eliminating him from the tournament.

Understandably, Adams was not pleased with the result, and refused to leave his chair until he was given a sufficent explanation of the ruling. About five minutes after the controversial seventh street was dealt, Adams finally succumbed to his fate, and left the tournament area.
