Burns did not stop there, shortly after Fox, he managed to knock out another poker player from the USA – Aaron Van Blarcum, who became a bubble boy, having taken the fourth place.
Cary Katz played well, trying to stay afloat and reach the heads-up, but Kahle Burns literally «crushed» Cary with his stack.
Kahle Burns started the heads-up having big advantage in stack: 2.5 million chips versus 1.1 million chips of Timothy Adams.
The «fierce struggle» lasted as long as 3 hours, until Adams raised from the button with an A-9 (suited), Burns went all-in with Q-J of the same suit. The flop showed A, and the turn brought the card, which eventually enshrined Timothy's victory in the tournament.
Throughout his life, Timothy Adams has earned over $19 168 000 in live tournaments. His biggest prize money in career is $3 536 550 for winning the super high roller tournament at the Triton Super High Roller Series 2019 in Jeju.
