Dan Suied

We previously mentioned former SHRPO winner Dan Suied earlier after he tussled with Michael Newman. That bullet did not go well but the second might be the charm.

Suied built his new 20,000 stack up as registration closed to come back to 59,000. Now it’s a bit more.

We caught the action after his big hand was complete but the table gave a rundown. Suied was in a three-way pot with the flop reading 9s6h3h and all the chips went in with Suied owning the biggest stack.

He flopped top pair with a flush draw holding Jh9h but the hearts were no good against one opponent’s Ah8h. The other player had his top pair beat with 9c3c for two pair and Suied needed to catch.

The Ks turn changed nothing but Suied found a better two pair on the Js river for the double knockout.

“Thank god the heart didn’t come,” Suied joked.

It was a huge pot and he is up to 265,000 with only a few levels remaining in the day.
