Dmitrii Perfilev

Sheddy Siddiqui opened to 480,000 from the button and Dmitrii Perfilev defended in the big blind to a Kd6s4s flop. Perfilev checked, Siddiqui bet 400,000 and Perfilev called.

The turn came 4c, Perfilev checked again, Siddiqui bet another 900,000 and Perfilev called. One last check from Perfilev after the Js river and Siddiqui slid out a healthy 2,400,000 bet. After a couple minutes, Perfilev called the big bet and his Kh3h was good enough to take the pot against Siddiqui’s Qh8c for the lead.

Dmitrii Perfilev – 10,500,000 (43 bb)
Sheddy Siddiqui – 7,400,000 (30 bb)

Cesar Solares

Sheddy Siddiqui opened to 450,000 from under the gun and picked up calls from Cesar Solares on the button and Dmitrii Perfilev in the big blind. Perfilev and Solares checked the As8h5h flop and Solares announced: “all in”. Perfilev quickly folded and Siddiqui called just as quickly.

Siddiqui: Ah8s
Solares: Jh9h

Siddiqui was ahead with aces up but needed to fade the hearts to send Solares out. The 6d turn gave Solares gutshot outs but the river blanked Qs to give Siddiqui the pot while Solares was eliminated in fourth place.

Sheddy Siddiqui – 9,300,000 (47 bb)
Cesar Solares – Eliminated in 4th Place ($75,441)

Dmitrii Perfilev

The two biggest stacks at the table went to battle in a couple hands the ultimately saw no significant change in position. Perfilev temporarily gave up the lead when he sent 1,400,000 across to Sheddy Siddiqui.

A few hands later, Cesar Solares limped from under the gun and Perfilev three-bet to 700,000 from the small blind. Solares called, the flop came Kc9d2c, and Perfilev bet 560,000.

Solares called, the turn was 7s, and Perfilev cut out a big stack for a 1,475,000 bet. Solares took several minutes to think it through, told Perfilev “you’re too good”, and released the big pot.

Stu Paterson

Perfilev: QhQd
