Full Tilt Poker ambassador Martins Adeniya was last of the 29 remaining players from a starting field of 72 when day two of the UKIPT Series \u00a3250 + 25 pot-limit omaha event got under way at London’s Hippodrome Casino. <\/p>\n
Adeniya had fewer than nine big blinds to start the day, but 45 minutes later he had 60, which was an average stack and apart from a wobble with 16 players left he never looked back. <\/p>\n
Whilst Adeniya started with the heads-up chip lead his opponent, Samuel Welbourne, had reduced the deficit to around three big blinds before the final hand, when Adeniya limped for 30,000 off a stack of 755,000.<\/p>\n
Welbourne raised to 90,000 from his stack of 655,000 and Adeniya made the call.
\nThe chips all went in on a 2H-6C-9S flop, with Welbourne holding KD-KC-QD-8C to put him ahead against Adeniya’s AH-8S-7H-5C, which was actually a 59 per cent favourite to win the hand. <\/p>\n
The 5C on the turn gave Adeniya an unbeatable lead and he took the title and the top prize of \u00a34,800.<\/p>\n
