Perfect Spot For Sydenstricker

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

João Sydenstricker opened to 60,000 from under the gun, and was called by Curtis Knight in the hijack. From the cutoff, Benjamin Gros three-bet to 315,000, keeping only 105,000 with him.

The button and the blinds folded, so the action came back to Sydenstricker who said "580,000" to four-bet. Knight looked at him, and announced all in for 3,900,000 chips. Gros threw his last chips in front of him, and Sydenstricker snap-called.

Benjamin Gros: Q♠Q♦
João Sydenstricker: A♠A♣
Curtis Knight: A♥K♦

Knight made a face when he discovered Sydenstricker's hand. He hit a pair on the river on 9♣9♥2♣6♦K♣, but it wasn't enough to beat Sydenstricker's aces. With the queens and the shortest stack, Gros was eliminated, while Sydenstricker doubled up to 3,850,000 chips.

Boris Kolev: A♣Q♣
Daniyar Aubakirov: A♦K♣

The board ran out K♠A♥3♦2♣A♠ — leaving Aubakirov best with aces-full of kings and eliminating Kolev in 37th place.
