Sheddy Siddiqui’s table recently broke, sending him to a new table and onto the direct left of fellow Floridian John Holley. So far, things have gone well for Siddiqui in the new digs.

In the most recent pot, he opened with an under-the-gun raise, and he was called by both a middle-position player and Holley, who was in the big blind. The flop was Jd9d5s, and a continuation bet of 67,000 was enough for Siddiqui to win the pot right there, as both of his opponents quickly folded.

The Seminole Hard Rock Poker teammate is slowly working his way up toward a seven-figure stack, up about 20 percent since he took his new seat at Holley’s table.

Sheddy Siddiqui – 750,000 (47 bb)
