Sydenstricker Kicks Out Yasuhiro

Maxime Taldir

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Under the gun, Yasuhiro Waki shoved for his last 9,000 chips. Joao Sydenstricker in the cutoff was the only one to make the call.

Yasuhiro Waki: 4♣3♣
Joao Sydenstricker: A♠6♠

Waki could still hope to double up after the flop 5♣2♣2♦ that gave him a straight flush draw, but the J♠ on the turn and the K♥ on the river didn't bring the help he needed, and he was eliminated.
