In post-match comments, the 69-year-old Adam still seemed to be numb from the victory. “It's a very strange sensation for me because I don't realize that it's a world championship. It's very unbelievable, I don't understand now. It's too soon, I just finished the tournament. I can't realize exactly everything now.”

If y’all think I only get emotional at the poker table, you should see me in my suite right now! Being eliminated from @WSOP $50K “Players Championship” hurts: esp cause I know I could have won it this year.

Bob Smith is one of my favorites! I've watched him handle many tough #WSOP situations with patience and understanding. He's also been great in helping support the poker media. Love seeing him at stops and happy @PokerNews gave him a little love!https://t.co/aMsBqMMd7N
