Alex Ivan

Sheddy Siddiqui was involved in a significant heads-up pot on the turn of a Kh7s5s6h board. First to act from under the gun, Siddiqui bet 100,000 into a pot of about 175,000. Alex Ivan was in position, and he called to see the river.

It was the Th. Siddiqui bet 300,000, and Ivan slipped deep into the tank. He was quiet for most of the soak, but he did say, “Might be bluffing,” at one point.

Ivan cut the calling chips out of his stack and eyed up the potential damage for a long while before the clock was called on him.  Just one second before his 30-second countdown expired, he dropped one chip into the pot to signify a call.

“Ace-high,” Siddiqui said, showing AsQd.

“Yeah, baby!” Ivan was duly pleased. “Give me that.” He showed 7c8c to win the pot with a pair of sevens. “Last second, too!”

Alex Ivan – 1,695,000 (85 bb)
Sheddy Siddiqui – 440,000 (22 bb)
