Timothv Adams
Timothv Adams

Timothy Adam's venture into the �25,000 Single-Day High Roller lasted just a matter of minutes after he lost two big hands against Norbert Szecsi.

Adams recently departed from the Main Event field as was able to jump into the �25,000 Single-Day High Roller at the last minute.

In the first hand, Adams saw his pocket jacks lose against Szecsi who was at risk when Szecsi hit a full house with pocket eights.

In the second hand, Adams moved all in from the cutoff for around 45,000 and Szecsi called from the small blind.

Szecsi held pocket aces, and Adams was far behind with ace-six. The board was no help to Adams and his time in the event came to an end after 20 minutes.
