Ade Adeyemi

Recap:
After two days of wild play and a final table filled with high emotion, one of the good guys took down the Event 19 title.  After a deal was made between the final six players, Ade Adeyemi ended up with the biggest stack of the remaining players and was declared champion.

The most important hand of Adeyemi’s night came when he was in a four-way pot pre-flop and decided to risk it all after a raise, a call and re-raise.  Holding jacks, Adeyemi pushed his stack and got the other three players to lay their hands down and in a event where the chips stacks ended very close it turned out to be the big winner.

Adeyemi couldn’t have been happier after the victory.  “It feels pretty good.  It’s a pretty nice win and a nice trophy.”

After the win, Adeyemi announced he would be making a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help combat a disease that has affected him and his family personally.  “I’m trying to help raise funds to help raise funds for cancer.  We have to beat this disease for all of us and our kids.”

Adeyemi had nothing but great things to say about his poker home here in Florida.  “They are the best.  You can’t beat it.  I love it here – this is my home.  I play every tournament here all the time and every single tournament in this series.  So it’s nice to be able to take one trophy home.”

Congratulations to our Event 19 Champion – Ade Adeyemi!
