Event 5: Cofhlin Doubles Through Ambassador

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000/2,000 Ante

Sheddy Siddiqui is a popular local player and the last Seminole Hard Rock Poker ambassador running deep in Event 5. His tournament came to an end short of a title.

The hand which dropped him low started with an early position limper before John Cofhlin began a pre-flop battle with Siddiqui. It ended with Cofhlin at risk but ahead with AsKs against Siddiqui’s AhQh.

The board ran clean 8d7s5c5sKd for Cofhlin’s double over 500,000 while Siddiqui was down under 100,000. Those didn’t last long and he was on his way to the payout desk.
