Sidhu Drags in a Pot, Fresh Off an EPT Win

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kuljinder Sidhu just dragged in a pot to nearly return to starting stack. He opened to 1,600 from middle positon and was called by the hijack and Maximilian Silz from the big blind.

He continued for 3,200 on the Q?6?5? flop, and only the hijack called. The 2? turn checked through to the A? river, and Sidhu took the pot down after his opponent folded to a bet of 10,800.

Sidhu has form on his side as he triumphed in Saturday's $2,100 Hyper Turbo Knockout Freezeout, topping the 216-entry field for $41,940 plus bounties.

PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin Spragg also performed well in that tournament and finished in 5th place for $14,420. Spragg, however, was not so fortunate in today's Main Event flight and was sent to the wrong side of the rail moments ago.

Romanello had a set of jacks with his J?J?, while Hula had a set of threes with 3?3?. Romanello was the beneficiary of the cooler and the Welshman dragged in the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Pascal Hartmann made it 1,100 from under the gun before Igor Yaroshevskyy three-bet to 3,400 from middle position. Action folded back to Hartmann, who made it 10,100 and then Yaroshevskyy clicked it to 17,600. Hartmann then put in the rare six-bet jam for 51,400 and was snap-called by the bigger stack.

Pascal Hartmann: AxKx
Igor Yaroshevskyy: A?A?

Hartmann had run into aces and was the underdog going to the runout. The Q?10?7? flop provided some hope in the form of a gutshot to Broadway but the 5? turn and 5? river confirmed his elimination.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

2023 PCA Main Event runner-up Pedro Neves is towards the bottom of the chip counts but tried to change that after raising to 1,000 from the cutoff. Sergei Bortsov opted to defend his big blind.

Bortsov check-called for 700 and 1,400 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 7?6?6?J?J?. Action checked through to showdown and Bortsov tabled A?10? for just ace-high (with the two pair on board). Neves checked his cards and threw them in the muck to concede the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 900 from middle position and picked up a call from Chinguun Bolor-Erdene before Aziz Efe reraised to 3,400 from the button. Both Astedt and Bolor-Erdene called the raise.

The flop came 9?10?8?. Astedt bet, Bolor-Erdene folded and Efe raised to 13,500. Astedt then moved all in and Efe quickly called with the bigger stack as players flipped their cards.

Niklas Astedt: K?J?
Aziz Efe: Q?J?

Astedt had a straight draw but Efe already had a made straight. The turn came the Q? and the river the 2?.

Groans and cheers rang out from the table on the turn as Astedt, one of the poker world's biggest winners, made the better straight to double up his stack.
