Sol Takes Out Sidibe, Battles Tadini For the Chip Lead
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
"Anas Tadini, the chip leader," Rachid El Yaacoubi yelled out from across the room.
Tadini was a spectator on the next hand at his table, but Ramon Sol challenged him for the chip lead after taking out Sory Sidibe.
Three-handed on a flop of 9♦6♦5♠ and around 20,000 in the pot, Sol, Sidibe, and Kuljinder Sidhu checked to the K♥ turn. Sol then bet 10,000 from the hijack, Sidibe moved all in for 35,000 on the button, and Sidhu folded. Sol, though, snap-called with K♣6♣ for two pair, while Sidibe could only show K♠Q♥.
The K♦ river improved Sol to a full house and earned him the bustout, boosting his stack up to around 200,000 as players headed off on dinner break.
