Battle of the Employees

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The Isle of Man leg of the UKIPT is special for many reasons, one of which being the fact PokerStars and Full Tilt employees are allowed to play in the Main Event. Two such employees just clashed at Table 5, namely Baard Dahl and Ankit Ahuja.

Dahl opened to 1,800 from the cutoff and Ahuja defended his big blind with a call, before check-calling a 2,200 bet on the {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop. Ahuja checked again when the dealer put the {K-Spades} onto the board and then quickly ducked out of the way when Dahl bet 4,100.

Dahl works in the PokerStars Poker Room Management team but when he's not working he's an avid poker and chess player and won the combined chess and poker tournament here at the UKIPT Isle of Man festival in 2014.
